APHA Sponsors Awards at 2021 NCEA Championship
PHJ release by: Cristin Conner
The American Paint Horse Association congratulates all student-athletes who competed in the 2021 National Collegiate Equestrian Association’s National Championship Show that took place in Waco, Texas, April 15–17. The partnership between APHA and the NCEA helps encourage the next generation of riders, strengthening the entire equine community.
APHA is proud to sponsor two awards at the prestigious event: the APHA/NCEA Elite Equestrian Award and the APHA/NCEA Academic Honor Roll.
The APHA/NCEA Elite Equestrian Award is given to the student-athlete with the highest GPA of any woman competing at the NCEA National Championship Show. APHA would like to congratulate sophomore Lori Ohannessian from Lynchburg University for being the top academic athlete in the event. Lori has received a 3.98 cumulative GPA while studying business administration and economics.
The APHA/NCEA Academic Honor Roll recognizes the top academic student athletes who have earned a cumulative GPA of 3.25 while maintaining full-time enrollment in the previous spring and fall semesters respectively. This year, a total of 174 student-athletes were recognized for their success both in the arena and classroom during the 2020–21 academic year.
