Show Jumping Success

Finishing in second place overall, this event was the last in the series and results from this competition determine the final places on the Victorian Team for the National Interschool Championships, to be held in Toowoomba in September.

It is a huge effort for these riders, and given that there are well over 200 competitors involved in the sport in Victoria, it is a credit to them to be placed at the top level in the State.
Alice Davies, Zali Vanderwert, Ella Barker and Steph Dundon also competed consistently during the season, and they have all improved throughout the year, achieving top 10 placings in individual competitions.
Over 54 Schools from throughout Victoria entered teams in the VEIS Showjumping Championship, and the Ivanhoe Grammar team placed second overall, closely behind Toorak College. This is an amazing effort, given the small size of our team!
