Three members of Linn-Benton's equestrian team qualified for the National IHSA (Intercollegiate Horse Show Association)competition which was held in Murfreesboro, Tennessee from April 23-26. Team members did very well at Nationals.
There are very few community colleges with equestrian teams so for Linn-Benton to place so well is quite an accomplishment.
Jason Peacock received champion in Alumni Horsemanship, Larissa Bjornson placed 8th in Advanced Western Horsemansip and Alex Fitch was 9th in Intermediate Western Horsemanship. "We're very proud of our national champion and the rest of our top 10 finishers." Jenny Strooband declared.
