Frogs drop fall finale

FORT WORTH, Texas – Video review proved to be the deciding factor as No. 6 TCU fell to No. 3 Oklahoma State, 10-9, in Big 12 action Friday afternoon at Diamond Creek Ranch. The meet marks the conclusion of the fall season for the Frogs.

DIRECTOR OF EQUESTRIAN HALEY SCHOOLFIELD
"Today did not go as we anticipated. We had something in every trip that we could do better and something in every trip that we did well. Some of those were major and some of those were minor and we need to continue to work to close the gaps. Going into the spring, I am confident that we still have a strong squad that will continue to improve with time and we can finish on a high note.

THE RUNDOWN
TCU opened with Fences competition and the Frogs put up scores of 80 or more top go up 4-1. Grace Upshaw was the highest scorer for the Frogs, carding an 85 on Java, good enough for the Most Outstanding Performer award. Raegan Rast, Izzy Baxter and Wynne Weatherly provided the other three points for TCU, scoring 82, 80 and 78, respectively.

Action then turned to Reining where TCU fell to OSU 3-2. Carly Lombard was the MOP in the event, scoring a 69.5-69 win on Britney. Elena Hurd was the other point winner for the Frogs, putting together a 62.5-0 win on Cash.

Action resumed with Flat competition where the Frogs won 3-1. Lanie Walkenbach continued her strong freshman campaign, winning 85-84 on Biggie and winning an MOP. Jacey Albaugh and Alex Beneson won their points with scores of 82 and 78, respectively. The highest scorer of the event was Izzy Baxter who rode to a score of 88 on Lina, but could only muster a tie against OSU's Hannah Janson.

The final event of the day was Horsemanship where Oklahoma State won 5-0. The balance of the meet came down to Anna Hauter's ride on Chip which was held for review. This was the second review on the day, as Oklahoma State's Emma Verplank also had her ride looked at. Verplank tallied a 73, while Hauter just missed earning the point with a score of 72.

NOTES
* Grace Upshaw and Lanie Walkenbach both earned their first career Most Outstanding Performer honors.
* Upshaw's score of 85 matches her season high.
* Raegan Rast won her point, upping her team-high win total to seven.
* The Frogs lost for the first time when winning the Jumping Seat discipline.
* TCU's Horsemanship team was swept for the first time since Apr. 15, 2017.
