DAVIS, Calif. – Walking the hyphen that separates a student-athlete, the UC Davis Equestrian Team finds their balance between the two worlds, recognized by the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC).
Fifteen Aggies have been recognized for their ability to manage and thrive both equitation and academics, being sorted into three separate tiers of achievement.
Seniors
Jessie Rechs,
Natasha Replogle, and
Kendall Lance grab their second All-Academic First Team honors in a row, and junior
Nicole Shroyer repeats her Honorable Mention title. Franke collects her third honorable mention title as an Aggie, previously earning a First-Team nod as an SDSU Jackrabbit.
Maddie Gregory and
Marin Gilliland continue to impress, making another consecutive All-Academic team honors happen in their final year.
Senior
Emma Jolly rounds out her academics at Davis with a First Team honor.
Mya Clader,
Lauren Kolbe,
Laura Kate Holliday,
Kylie Jacobson, and
Katya Dundas collect their first mentions in the All-Academic teams after aging up and playing huge roles this season.
