WACO, Texas - The Fresno State equestrian team had a pair of student-athletes earn the title of Ariat All-American, announced by the National Collegiate Equestrian Association on Tuesday. Senior Kendra Lee was named a second team horsemanship All-American while freshman Paris Mahoney was tabbed honorable mention All-American in the flat.
Lee earns the Bulldogs' first horsemanship All-American honor since the 2019-20 season. Although the Bulldogs' seventh all-time flat All-American, Mahoney is just the second-ever true freshman to earn All-America honors in the flat. She joins Macy Wilson (2011-12) as true freshman All-Americans in the flat.
Lee posted a 8-5-1 horsemanship record, with a single-season career-best four MOP honors.
This season, Mahoney had a 10-4-0 flat record with three MOP honors.
With 10 wins in the flat this season, Mahoney tied the program's single season win record, sitting at the top with Cecily Hayes who had two 10-win seasons as a Bulldog.
While Mahoney is just beginning her career, Lee sees hers come to a close. The senior Bulldog finished her career with a 17-22-2 record, with five MOPs. Her 41 total rides in the horsemanship are the sixth-most by a Bulldog in program history. Her five MOP honors are the fifth-most in the event.
Both Mahoney and Lee were recognized as All-Big 12 talent in their respective events this season.
