and her team competed this weekend at the American Stock Horse Association Region II Championships. Congrats to everyone on another successful show. Horses will teach lessons that no other life experiences can. I am thankful for these lessons and the opportunities that the team has to grow, learn, and glorify God. I am proud of our brave and strong daughter for growing with her horse. The team got 4th place in the collegiate showdown and Katie had a good run on cows, placing 2nd on the team. She also took home a 6th place finish on day 3 in the Open Reining class.

Can’t say enough about how proud I am of Lexie for her performance at the 2024 collegiate national championships. She cut time from her freshman year nationals appearance. She took the podium in 3rd place for her heat! She was top 50 (45th) overall in the country for NCAA DII. Team high point scorer. And most importantly, glorified God with her talents and dedication.

Race recap:
In the swim she was 2:20 off the leader. She had a good T1 transition and caught the main chase pack on the bike after about 6 miles. Due to the technicality of the course she chose to stay at or near the front of the pack, actually pulling the pack most of the way. The pack had a little wreck going into T2, but she came out with only a few cuts and had a good transition anyway. She caught the lead cyclist 400 yards into the run and began passing a few stragglers that were in front off the bike. She was in 2nd place but didn’t look like she could catch the leader. She got passed only once on the run at about the 2 mile mark. The girl that passed her won the race and Lexie held on for 3rd.
