Caroline Fuller, Marley Mainwaring, Jenna Meimerstorf and Andie Pratt have been named to the 2021-22 Ariat All-America teams, as announced Thursday by the National Collegiate Equestrian Association (NCEA).<br>
<br>
Meimerstorf and Pratt were named to the Reining First Team, while Clausen (Reining) and Mainwaring (Horsemanship) garnered second-team praise. Fuller rounded out the Bears’ awards as an honorable mention selection in Fences.<br>
<br>
Five honorees ties for the third-most in a single season in Baylor program history. BU had eight selections in both 2014 and 2016, while 2012, 2015, 2019 and 2022 all totaled five.<br>
<br>
“I am incredibly proud of these young ladies and their accomplishments this season,” said head coach Casie Maxwell. “Making it onto the All-America team is a big feat and a reflection of their consistency over the entire year. I am so excited to watch them
lead their teammates into the National Championship.”<br>
<br>
With the three Reining honors, Baylor has now had 10 All-Americans in the event all-time. Mainwaring becomes the 10<sup>th</sup> Horsemanship selection in program history, while Fuller becomes the 12<sup>th</sup> Fences honoree. All five Bears earned their
first-career All-America recognition.<br>
<br>
The top five riders per event were selected to the Ariat All-America First Teams by the NCEA Selection Committee. The next five riders per event earned second-team honors, and honorable mention selections were selected via the following established criteria:
There shall be no limit on how many riders receive this award, provided they have a 67 percent or higher winning percentage, excluding ties; compete in a minimum of 67 percent of their team’s regular-season meets, and; have at least an adjusted NRS score of
85 (Flat), 90 (Fences), 80 (Horsemanship) and/or 75 (Reining).<br>
<br>
Meimerstorf went 8-2-1 on the regular season with an average score of 76.9 to garner first-team honors. She picked up one Most Outstanding Performer (MOP) award against Oklahoma State on Oct. 8, 2021 and scored the second-highest Reining tally of the year,
a 75, on Nov. 20, 2021 against Fresno State.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt"><br>
With an 8-1-1 record, Pratt was named to the first-team after previously being dubbed the Big 12 Reining Rider of the Year. She went undefeated on the road and averaged a 70.9 across her 10 regular-season rides. She also tallied her first-career Most Outstanding
Performer honors after scoring a season-high 76.5 against Fresno State on Nov. 20.<br>
<br>
Clausen wasn’t far behind her Reining teammates at 8-3-1 overall this season, collecting three MOP’s along the way. The NCEA’s Reining Rider of the Month for January, Clausen put down an average of 71.1 in 11 non-zero rides on her way to earning second-team
recognition.<br>
<br>
Mainwaring, a second-team selection, led the Bears with nine wins in the 2021-22 season. She averaged a 74 on the year and received two MOP honors, both at away meets. Mainwaring was named the November Big 12 Rider of the Month for Horsemanship after three-consecutive
wins and entered the postseason having won eight of her last nine matchups. <o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt">Fuller, a Jumping Seat standout, went 8-4 this season in Fences. She recorded six individual awards throughout the season, twice being named
the NCEA’s National Rider of the Month in Fences, as well as being named a four-time Big 12 Rider of the Month, twice in Fences and twice in Flat. Fuller contributed a perfect 6-0 fall slate and 6-0 home record to her senior campaign, picking up honorable
mention honors from the NCEA.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black;letter-spacing:.25pt">After finishing the year at 7-7 overall, Baylor earned the No. 6 seed for the NCEA National Championship. The Bears will face No. 3 seed Texas
A&M in the quarterfinals on Thursday, April 14, at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, Fla.<br>
