Sameth earns High Point Honors, IHSA wins day two of Sewanee Show

SEWANEE, Tenn. – The Sewanee IHSA equestrian team continued its dominant start to the season, once again claiming High Point Team honors with 40 points at Sunday's IHSA competition. The Tigers also captured the top individual award, as Emma Sameth was named High Point Rider after another stellar performance.

Sameth once again swept the open division, earning first place in both Open Fences and Open Flat. Isabella Fioretti turned in a strong ride with a second-place finish in Intermediate Flat and a fifth-place showing in Open Fences, while Isabella Janovsky added a win in Intermediate Flat and a sixth-place finish in Open Fences. Anna Marie Samp secured first place in Intermediate Fences, and Kelly Baumgart collected third in Open Flat. Sewanee also prevailed in the Limit Flat division, with Lily Carter taking first and Bailey Pezzella placing third.

The Tigers' 40 points were more than enough to outpace the field, as they topped the standings ahead of UT-Knoxville (26), Maryville (25), MTSU (17), Murray State (17), Carson-Newman (8), and Tennessee Tech (3).

With back-to-back High Point Team finishes this weekend, Sewanee now holds a commanding 29-point lead in the regional overall standings, putting the Tigers in a strong position early in the season.

The IHSA team returns to action on Oct. 25-26 as they travel to Maryville for the next competition.
