Waco, Texas -- Senior standouts Lucy Metzler and Fallyn Belcastro were honored as Ariat All America Team members from the National Collegiate Equestrain Association, announced on Tuesday evening.

Following a terrific season filled with records, awards, and MOPs, Metzler earned a spot on the Ariat NCEA All-America First Team for Flat, and Belcastro claimed places on the Ariat NCEA All-America Second Team for Flat and was an honorable mention for Fences.
