On Sunday, April 29th,
2007, two Albion College students competed at the
Intercollegiate Dressage Association’s National
Championships at
Centenary College in New Jersey.
Junior Halley Sissom
(Chelsea / Chelsea) competed in the Upper Training Level
division after being ranked as the Regional Reserve Grand
Champion. This was Sissom's second time in two years
competing at the National Championships. After a very
accurate and consistent ride, Sissom was awarded with scores
of 64% and 64.7% from the two judges. This placed
Sissom 6th in the Nation for the Upper Training Level
Division.
First year student Mark
Lampen (Zeeland / Zeeland East) competed in the Lower
Training Level Division. Lampen was also ranked as the
Regional Reserve Grand Champion before the National
Championships. Lampen's ride was also described as
accurate and consistent; the two judges scored him with
64.64% and 64.29%. These scores placed Lampen 5th in
the Nation for the Lower Training Level Division.
Once club members back at
Albion College learned the results, they immediately bought
spray paint to paint the school's rock. It is a long
standing tradition at Albion to paint the rock on campus to
celebrate student achievements.
It took club members over
two hours to paint the rock, but it was well worth the
effort for everyone!
