A junior from Colorado Springs, Colorado, Malick earned Most Outstanding Performer honors in fences after defeating Maggie Lawler of UMC, 82-69, in their head-to-head matchup. Malick came back later in the day to record a 77-67 victory over Lawler in flat.

Sarah Gould, Lucy Puhalla, Brooke Borges, Sydney Chmel, Kayla Scherer, and Sierra Elliot made up the rest of the jumping seat team, with Gould and Chmel scoring points for the team in their respective events of fences and flat.

Avery Bergan led the Jackrabbit advantage in horsemanship by earning MOP honors after winning her matchup against Addison Pike, 76-73.5. Hailey Hanson and Anna Minnich each tallied victories with respective scores of 76.5 and 75.5, while Hannah Dutton posted a head-to-head win with a score of 73.

SDSU claimed two of the five points in reining and was led by Hanson with a score of 70.5 points in a winning effort against Crookston's Micah Fohrman. Emma Riggs also turned in a winning ride with the score of 68.
