The fall in Davis is traditionally a time of incredible anticipation, renewed feelings of energy for the coming year, and sights and sounds of athletics activities all over our campus. However, in 2020, these traditions have been put on hold as we, along with the rest of our peers, prepare for the return of normal activity on our college campus.
While our post-season was cut short, we are thankful for the regular season we were able to have and the growth we experienced as a team this past year. During spring quarter and over the summer we have been meeting as a team virtually and are looking forward to being able to gather again soon as a team. 8 new freshman, 1 sophomore transfer and 5 new horses will be joining us for the coming season and we are looking forward to welcoming them to our family. Our equestrian team has grown tremendously in the past 2 years thanks in large part to the support of you all and we can’t wait to welcome you back to the Equestrian Center for meets as soon as we are allowed to do so.
Like the generations of Aggies who have come before us, we are looking for opportunities in this challenge we currently face. We refuse to be still during this break, and we choose to do what champions would…we will adapt. The Champions Adapt Challenge (#ChampionsAdapt2020) is all about maximizing our potential and sprinting out of the gates when competition resumes. Like all champions, we know this will be a team effort, and you can be a big part of our team.
The week of October 12-18 was scheduled to be Homecoming week on campus, one that brings alumni back, old traditions out, and a full slate of home athletics events. With the loss of traditional revenue streams this year from associated events, we are forced to adapt to generate support for our program. Instead of pep rallies and tailgating, we will be on our phones, our email, and on social media spreading the word about the Champions Adapt Challenge.
Our program seeks your financial support now, and we have set a fundraising goal to achieve during this week-long effort. Please join us as we adapt to the opportunity presented to us, where we can position ourselves to be champions. Your gift in support of Equestrian during this campaign and make a world of difference today to set us up for when we do return to competition. Every dollar contributed will go directly and exclusively to our program.
Our top priorities include:
