Two Rangers advanced from to the Zone Championships at the IHSA Regional Championship Show hosted at Briarwood Farm on Sunday. Haley Flagg placed third in open equitation over fences to move on to the Zone Championships. Kristine Kennedy placed first in Alumni Equitation over Fences and Alumni Equitation on the Flat as she again qualified for the Zones.

Flagg, riding Buddy, took third place in the Open Fences in her first season with the Rangers. James Fairclough misses out on the Zones and a return to Nationals as he placed seventh in both Fences and Flat.

Rachel Denning came agonizingly close to earn a trip to zones in two classes. Denning placed four in Intermediate Fences and fifth in Open Flat, the Rangers' top finish in that class.

Ashley Kraft took fifth in Novice Fences and Anne Daniels placed eighth Walk Trot Canter.

Kennedy has qualified for Zones in Open Flat in her both of her previous seasons as an Alumni rider.
