Thornton, Robinson Highlight Eagles Showing

MURFEESBORO, Tenn. --- A pair of Bridgewater College riders earned fourth place showings at the Intercollege Horse Show Association (IHSA) National Meet.  The competition took place over several days at Miller Coliseum in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

Senior Patti Ann Thornton, winner of the ODAC's Rider of the Year Award for the past two years, was joined by Jaime Robinson in placing fourth at the show.  Thornton participated in the open equitation on the flat while Robinson was one of 10 riders in the walk-trot-canter division.

Bridgewater won its second ODAC title in the past three years at Hollins earlier in the month, accounting for both of the program's titles since joining the ODAC in 2002.
