WACO, Texas – The TCU equestrian was unable to hold off the fourth-ranked Baylor Bears in the Big 12 opener, falling 10-8. TCU took home three of the four Most Outstanding Performer honors.

The Rundown
TCU came out very strong to start the meet, taking four points in Equitation over Fences and three in Reining. The Horned Frogs also took home three Most Outstanding Performer accolades. Wynne Weatherly won the MOP in Equitation over Fences, Jamie Cook won it in Horsemanship, Claire Dittrich snagged the accolades in Reining.

TCU found its most success in Equitation over Fences, taking four points while only conceding one. The score of 4-1 is the best mark for the Frogs in the event this season. Freshman Wynne Weatherly took home the MOP over Fences notching a score of 80. Sophomores Elizabeth McKim, Alex Beneson, and Raegan Rast all won as well, each scoring over 80.

In Reining, TCU was led by junior Claire Dittrich who earned career win No. 10, and the third MOP of her career. Elena Hurd won with a score of 72 and remained undefeated on the season.

Janelle Henningsen smashed her career high in Equitation on the Flat. She earned the lone point for the Frogs in the event, but set a career high of 89, with her previous high being 84.

Jamie Cook earned her first win of the season, matching her season-high with a score of 75.5 today. Her performance was also good enough for the MOP in Horsemanship.

Director of Equestrian Haley Schoolfield
"Today didn't turn out as we hoped and we tip our hat to Baylor who rode very well. We need to acknowledge some very strong rides and three well deserved MOPs. Lucky for us the season is young and we have a team of hard workers. We will be back to the grind on Monday in preparation for OSU."
