IRVING, Texas – Baylor equestrian Jumping Seat duo Lauren Reid and Dominika Silvestri have been named Big 12 Riders of the Month for November, as announced by the conference office Wednesday afternoon.

Reid picked up co-honors in Fences after a 2-0 month that propelled her to a three-meet win streak. The freshman out of Nazareth, Pa., put down a career-high 85 at No. 1 SMU and collected Most Outstanding Performer praise for the first time in her rookie season with BU’s second-highest Fences score of the year. She followed that up with a point-winning 78 against Fresno State in the Bears’ final meet of the fall.

Silvestri earned co-recognition in Flat with an undefeated performance as part of a stellar start to her senior campaign. Riding a five-meet win streak, Silvestri garnered her second-career Flat MOP with an 80 against the Bulldogs in BU’s fall finale. She averaged a 77 on the month after previously defeating her SMU opponent with a score of 74.

These are the first-career Big 12 Rider of the Month accolades for both Reid and Silvestri. Baylor has now claimed conference honors in all three editions of the 2022-23 monthly awards, and in six of the last seven months dating back to last season. Four of BU’s five honors this season have come on the Jumping Seat side.

No. 8 Baylor wrapped up its fall slate with a 2-4 record, including a 2-1 mark in Big 12 action, and returns to the competition arena on Jan. 27 to open the spring season against No. 9 UT Martin at the Willis Family Equestrian Center in Waco.
