GRAFTON, Mass. – The Endicott equestrian team placed fifth overall out of 10 teams at the Boston College Show on Sunday evening.

Helen Barrow (Swanton, Vt.) highlighted the Gulls by qualifying for Regionals in intermediate fences. Barrow was fourth in open over fences and fifth in open flat on the day.

"We finished our fall semester with a beautiful day at Hillside Meadows and our riders once again brought home a few blue ribbons," said Endicott equestrian head coach Megan Martin. "Finishing fifth as a team showed a consistent strength this season, as we now sit fifth in the regional standings as well. I'm looking forward to a strong winter of practices and lift sessions to get our riders as strong as they can be for our spring horse shows! Go Gulls!"
