WACO, Texas – Baylor equestrian has been selected as the No. 8 seed for the upcoming 2021 National Collegiate Equestrian Association (NCEA) National Championship, as announced on Tuesday by the organization.

This year’s national event is set for April 15-17 at the Extraco Events Center in Waco.

Due to COVID-19 modifications, this year’s postseason will only feature a single-elimination team bracket with no individual event contests. Baylor will match up against No. 1-seed Auburn on Thursday, April 15, in the first round of play at a time to be determined.

In addition to the top-8 seeded teams, four teams have been designated as replacement teams for the championship. If a team has to withdraw due to COVID-19 related issues, a replacement team will fill their spot in the bracket. The deadline for teams to be replaced is April 6. After April 6, if a team is unable to play, the competition will be counted as a “no contest” and the opponent will automatically advance.

BU has advanced to the postseason each year since the program’s inception in 2005-06. In both postseason appearances under fourth-year head coach Casie Maxwell, the Bears have advanced to the NCEA quarterfinals. The 2019-20 postseason was not held due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
