LONG ISLAND CITY, NY – Freshman Tyler Manchester qualified for the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) Zone Championships with a second-place finish at the Regional Show in March and came away with a fourth-place finish in the Zone Championships held at the North Shore Equestrian Center on Long Island Saturday.
Manchester competed in the Limit Flat division and drew a ride on Legato – a horse from the Stony Brook University farm. The fourth-place finish was out of 10 riders in his class.
The last Nazareth student-athlete to finish as high as fourth was Olivia Quattrociocchi in 2022. Alexi Przybylski placed first at the Zone Championships in 2019 to advance to the National Championship competition.
Only the top two riders at the Zone Championships advance to the National Championships.
