Fresno State adds women's equestrian, new coach
Sports Information Office
Athletic Director Al Bohl an¬
nounced that women's equestrian
will become Fresno State's 20th
intercollegiate sporty beginning
with the 1996-97 academic year.
"This is an extremely exciting
day for Fresno State athletics," said
Bohl. "After months of careful re¬
search into which women's sport
we would add to the program for
the upcoming academic year, we
firmly believe that equestrian is the
right choice at the right time for this
university and the entire San
Joaquin Valley."
The Fresno State equestrian
team, which has been in existence
at the club level for more than 20
years, will continue its membership
in the Intercollegiate Horse Show
(IHSA), the governing organiza¬
tion of intercollegiate equestrian
sports which currently comprises
235 member colleges and univer¬
sities and offers competitions at
the regional, zone, and national
levels.
The Bulldogs are members of
IHSA Zone 8, Region 1, and com¬
pete against teams such as
Stanford. Nevada, Cal Poly-SLO
and UC Davis.
The IHSA allows riders with
various degrees of experience in
English and Western riding disci¬
plines to compete individually and
on a team.
"Although many people may
not realize it, equestrian has a
long-standing record of demon¬
strated interest on this campus and
in the Valley," Bohl said. "Our goal
is to afford a quality, varsity-level
competitive opportunity to as many
as 60 female student-athletes at
Fresno State the inaugural year."
Bohl also announced that Megan
McGee, who has served as an in¬
structor at Moorehead, Ky., State,
Portland State, and Cal Poly-SLO
in addition to teaching at private fa¬
cilities in California, Oregon, and
Kentucky, has agreed to serve as
head coach of the equestrian team
on an interim basis.
"Megan has a strong back¬
ground in teaching and training
both in the public and private sec¬
tors," Bohl said. "We hope to capi¬
talize on her vast experience in get¬
ting this new and exciting program
off the ground"
McGee. who has served as a
volunteer steward at the equestrian
venue for the '96 Olympic Games
in Atlanta, most recently has been
employed as show secretary and
office manager at Ram Tap, Inc.,in
Fresno. Ram Tap has been the site
of the Junior Young Rider and Ama-
teur Three Day Event National
Championships, since 1989.
McGee's equestrian certifica¬
tion includes Federal Equestrian In¬
ternational general steward for three
day eventing and dressage; Ameri¬
can Horse Shows Association
(AHSA) registered combined train¬
ing technical delegate (licensed in
1986). AHSA recorded dressage
technical delegate {1986). and Brit¬
ish Horse Society's instructor's
certificate.
"This will provide an excellent
opportunity for young women to
pursue their college education and
maintain or develop a competitive
riding schedule through the IHSA
competitions," McGee said.
Fresno State is the third known
Division I school to sponsor eques¬
trian as a varsity sport, joining Col¬
lege of Charleston and Brown Uni¬
versity.
FresnoState's team will operate
out of the university's Student
Horse Center, located on Woodrow
Ave., north of Shaw.
Although a schedule is not in
place, it is anticipated that the Bull¬
dogs will compete in two home and
at least eight road competitions in
1996-97.
