Friday Weather Cuts Equestrian Short

HARRINGTON, Del. - The South Dakota State equestrian team completed two events against No. 6 Oklahoma State Friday afternoon, and will carry a 4-4 tie into Saturday morning.

Poor weather caused some schedule shuffling Friday morning that saw SDSU finish half of a meet against OSU instead of a full meet against Delaware State as previously scheduled. SDSU will conclude its matchup with OSU Saturday with the DSU meet to follow.

The Jackrabbits were locked with OSU at two points apiece after Equitation over Fences to start the day. Claire Garduno (76) and Jessica Martinez (81) each earned a point for their rides to push a tie through the first event.

Another 2-2 tie in Horsemanship advanced the score to 4-4 behind Whitney Vesey's ride of 75 and Jordan Gates' ride of 71.5. Rylee Streit scored a career-best 73.5 in her ride, but was bested by OSU's top scorer in the event.

The Jacks have a full day Saturday, finishing things up with OSU before ending the weekend against DSU.
