Jessica Stone earns USHJA 3'3" Jumping Seat Medal Finals -East win
|
|
Jessica Stone of West Bloomfield, Michigan, topped 121 entries over three phases of competition to win the second annual USHJA 3'3" Jumping Seat Medal Finals - East on September 29 at the Capital Challenge Horse Show in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.
Coming into Saturday, Stone sat in third on a score of 216.80 from the flat and gymnastics phases, while Breanna Bunevacz of Calabasas, California, held the lead with a score of 220.12. However, Stone soon shot to the top of the leaderboard after earning a score of 89 from judges Mark Jungherr and Sissy Wickes. That score, multiplied by a coefficient of two and combined with her score from Friday, gave Stone a 394.80 total that would prove to be untouchable by the final two riders to return.
