Eventing

The USEF National CCI1* Championships concluded on Sunday with some of the United States' best up-and-coming combinations vying to be crowned champions in one of four divisions. The competition was held in combination with the Hagyard Midsouth Three-Day Event and Team Challenge at the Kentucky Horse Park.

Kristen Rozycki claimed the National CC1* Championship with her own Full Circle finishing on a score of 47.2. Rozycki and the Thoroughbred mare jumped clear over the challenging Derek Di Grazia designed cross-country course and were again flawless in the final phase. In the National CCI1* Junior Championship, Kelsey Hoiness, who was contesting her first CCI1*, jumped a stylish round on Sunday with T.M. Ballingary to also finish on her dressage score on their way to being crowned champions. Devon Gaines was the winner of the National CCI1* Amateur Championship riding her own eight year-old mare Ginger Spice in the pairs first attempt at this level. The National CCI1* 19-21 year-old Championship was won by Kristina Southern riding Skyeler Icke's Matus.
