On Nov. 3, SLC collected 10 ribbons among nine different riders. Senior captain Camille Meder (Dallas, Texas/Greenhill School) was the lone Gryphon to bring home a pair of ribbons, placing a season-best third in Novice over Fences and sixth-place in Novice on the Flat.

Rookie Lesedi Ntsele (Johannesburg, South Africa/Interlochen Arts Academy) posted a season-best fourth-place ride at Walk Trot. Classmate Linnie Hall (Nantucket, Mass./Nantucket) captured her first ribbon of the season with a fifth-place ride, also in a Walk Trot grouping. In addition, junior Millie Chen (Nanjing, China/No. 9 High School of Nanjing) became a first-time place-winner with a fifth-place ride in her Walk Trot group.

SLC's Walk Trot place-winners also included senior Jillian Richardson (Austin, Texas/St. Andrews Episcopal), who finished fourth, and sophomore Viktoria Czaran (Hartsdale, N.Y./United Nations International), who finished fifth.
