Sophomores Paige Monfore and Anna Schierholz along with freshman Maggie McAlary were selected for individual competition. Monfore was selected third in Western Reining, while McAlary and Schierholz were selected third and fifth in Hunt Seat Equitation over Fences. “This is a team that can win the overall national title,†said Auburn head coach Greg Williams. “Hunt Seat is expected to perform well, hence the No.1 seed.
