IHSA Zone 9 Championships

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of photographing the IHSA Zone 9 Championships hosted by Purdue University and held at Foxton Farms in Romney, IN. Many thanks to Laura Lemanski and Jerry Steinmetz (coaches of the Purdue team) who graciously reserved space for my table (and my husband) in the heated lounge.

The show itself was a great success. I was thrilled to see the University of Wisconsin-Madison team present as I was a founding member of this team back in 1998 (back when I was president of Hoofers). UW-Madison ended up winning the show and their team qualified for nationals. Considering the first UWET had less than 1/2 a dozen members, its fun to see how far the team has come.

However there were many good rides yesterday and my congrats goes out to each team and individual who qualified and participated. I look forward to seeing local riders this summer and perhaps at an IHSA show in the fall.
