WACO, Texas – No. 6-ranked Baylor equestrian (6-6, 2-4) is set to compete at the 2022 Big 12 Championship this weekend at TCU’s Diamond Creek Ranch in Burleson, running March 25-26.

The fourth-seeded Bears will face top-seeded and No. 1-ranked Oklahoma State (10-2, 5-1) on Friday at 10 a.m., while No. 2-seed and fourth-ranked TCU (10-5, 3-3) tangles with No. 3-seed and eighth-ranked Fresno State (6-8, 2-4) simultaneously.

Friday’s winners will advance to Saturday’s final, set to begin immediately following a consolation meet between the non-advancing teams, which starts at 9:30 a.m. CT.

In last season’s Big 12 Championship, BU suffered a 12-8 first-round loss to OSU, but went on to defeat Fresno State in the consolation meet, 13-7.

The Bears dropped both regular-season contests to the Cowgirls this year, including a 10-9 decision on Oct. 8 in Waco and an 11-8 matchup on Feb. 6 in Stillwater, Okla. Oklahoma State leads the all-time series 31-13, including wins in each of the last seven meetings.

Baylor split the season series with both TCU and Fresno State. BU swept Horsemanship to take a 14-6 dominating victory at TCU on Nov. 5, but lost a raw-score tiebreaker to the Horned Frogs, 9-9 (1489-1481.5), on Feb. 12 in Waco. The Bears topped the Bulldogs, 11-7, on Nov. 20 at home, but fell 12-6 on March 4 in Fresno, Calif.

Baylor has claimed the league championship four times in program history, having most recently won the title in 2019. BU also took home the crown in 2010, 2015 and 2017.

Two Bears boast undefeated Big 12 records, including Emma Fletcher (Flat) and Andie Pratt (Reining). Additionally, four Bears own one-loss records in Big 12 play, including Madaline Callaway (Reining), Fletcher (Fences), Jenna Meimerstorf (Reining) and defending NCEA Flat Rider of the Month Dominika Silvestri (Fences, Flat).
