Waco, Texas -- University of Lynchburg equestrian rider Madeline Rubin was honored as the National Collegiate Equestrian Association (NCEA) Arion Sellier Fences Rider of the Month, announced by the NCEA office on Wednesday. 

Rubin was an incredible performer throughout the entire month of February. She averaged a score of 85 across three meets and went 3-0 in the Fences, including two wins away from home. In the first competition of the new year, the sophomore scored an 81 riding Jetson against Sweet Briar. 

In Lynchburg's trip to Charleston to face the Cougars and Centenary, she produced impressive scores that averaged out to 87. Against Charleston, Rubin scored a team-high 88 riding Jockamo to beat out her opponent by two points. She followed with an event-best 86 score riding Bruno against the Cyclones.
