Mount Holyoke saw a number of outstanding rides over a three-day period at the 2016 IHSA National Championships. The Lyons, who were 11th after the first day of action, rebounded with a stellar effort on day two, holding on to finish as the Reserve Champions at this year's show. Among the incredible efforts for MHC included a win by sophomore Sabrina Fox (Westfield, Mass.) in Collegiate Cup Walk-Trot-Canter, a victory that pushed the Lyons into second overall for good. Mount Holyoke concluded its season at Nationals in a year which they won seven shows, including the Regional title, were third at the Tournament of Champions and second at the Zone Championships.
