IHSA ZONE 6 - REGION 3

Seen here with Head Coach Christopher Ewing, Oakland University junior Cortney Glass is the first member of the two-year-old Golden Grizzly team ever to compete at IHSA Nationals on May 3rd. Glass placed fifth in the nation in individual novice fences at 2007 IHSA Nationals in West Springfield, Massachusetts.

Oakland University started competing in IHSA shows during the 2005-06 season, and after only two seasons the Golden Grizzlies can claim a top five rider in Cortney Glass. Oakland came in fourth behind Findlay, Otterbein and Michigan State within the 16-team Zone 6, Region 3 hunter seat standings this season, and with a new all-Michigan region planned for 2007-08 one wonders how many Grizzlies will qualify for Zone 6 Zones next Spring. Glass, who has one more year with the Grizzlies, earned a '74' to claim the pink ribbon. -Steve Maxwell, Campus Equestrian Inc.
