Torrance, CA (May 30, 2012): BMHS junior Katie Rodriguez '13 recently won her second equestrian award of the season at the Memorial Day Classic Horse Show in Burbank. Rodriguez took home the “Reserve Champion” ribbon in the 1.1 meter, 3’6” class. The Reserve Champion ribbon was the result of two 1st, one 3rd, and two 5th place finishes over the four day event.
In addition to her show jumping accomplishments, Rodriguez has been selected for the Los Angeles Regional Clinic of the Emerging Athlete Program. The EAP was created specifically to provide opportunities for young riders to advance their education, as they strive to become knowledgeable horsemen, which may or may not include a career in the horse industry. Ten regional clinics, each held over four days, are offered throughout the country. She is one of only 24 riders selected for this clinic. She will be training under Anne Kursinski, a member of five United States Olympic Teams, including Team Gold in Beijing.
