Wenatchee High School’s Equestrian Team finished its regular season with more than half the team set to compete at State. Their last meet took place at Appleatchee during April 22–24.

Many of the team members won awards and personal bests, earning top slots in the competition. Additionally, the team will most likely be chosen for the award of 2016 High Point, an award for best overall team.
