Competitors in the semifinal show must have placed in the top 4 of their respective classes in order to qualify for IHSA Nationals May 3-6.
Junior Emily Wolfe competed in Beginner Horsemanship and placed third qualifying her for nationals. Junior Leanne Thompson placed eighth in Novice coming up just short of qualifying.
