Update: Johnson placed 11th in the individual reining class at IHSA Nationals, her second consecutive appearance at the national championship. 

MILL SPRING, N.C. — Oklahoma Panhandle State University's Equestrian Team is proud to send off  team member Eva Johnson as she travels to Mill Spring, North Carolina, to compete at the IHSA Nationals at the Tryon International Equestrian Center on Saturday, May 2.

Eva continues to make history for OPSU. She is the only athlete in program history to qualify for nationals twice—and in back-to-back years. This remarkable achievement speaks not only to her talent in the arena, but also to her relentless work ethic, focus and dedication to her sport.
 
Qualifying for the IHSA Nationals is a significant accomplishment on its own. Doing it twice, in consecutive years, sets a new standard for excellence within the OPSU equestrian program. Eva is blazing a trail for future Aggie riders and raising the bar for those who will follow in her footsteps.

We are proud of everything she has accomplished and excited to watch her represent OPSU at the highest level. We wish Eva the very best of luck and safe travels as she heads to North Carolina.
