Lexington, Ky.—May 6

Centenary College (N.J.) held onto its lead in the Collegiate Cup in Day 2 of the IHSA National Championship. A win by Natasha Klingenstein in the intermediate equitation over fences and Kayla Felstedt's third in the walk/trot/canter hunter seat equitation boosted the team's score to 26.

Skidmore College, the reigning national champions, still sit in second with a team score of 19 points, closely followed by another New York college, St. Lawrence University, with 18.

Centenary College charged into the lead with consistent rides during the May 5 opening day of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association National Championship at the Kentucky Horse Park. Centenary (N.J.) finished the day with 15 points, and Skidmore College (N.Y.) and St. Andrews Presbyterian College (N.C.) trail behind with 8 points each.

The race is heating up on the road to Lexington, and no, we’re not talking the Kentucky Derby. The 2011 Intercollegiate Horse Show Association National Championships are returning May 5-8 to the Kentucky Horse Park, and it looks like the 37th of the nation’s leading collegiate battle for year-end titles promises to be a fight to the finish.

Because achievements in education are as important as in equitation, the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association has launched the IHSA National All-Academic Award to annually recognize the individual academic achievements of its participating undergraduate and alumni members. 

IHSA members will be named to the All-Academic First Team or All-Academic Second Team when they have been nominated by their coach, advisor, or designed representative, and have met the following criteria:
