- Claire McDowall has a 6-3 record and earned MOP honors in four rides this year. She currently sits in fifth place in OSU history for Horsemanship wins. Coming off her second consecutive All-American selection, she looks to add to one of the highest win totals in Horsemanship in Cowgirl history.

The junior was named to the All-Championship Horsemanship team at the NCEA Championship and earned Big 12 Rider of the Month in March last season.Â
- Freshman Gable Gering scored a 91.5 in Flat this season against SMU. Her score was the highest score by any OSU freshman in the event and was half a point away from tying the school record in the event.
