Six Cowgirls Collect All-America Honors

STILLWATER – The NCEA announced its All-America teams for the 2022-23 season Thursday afternoon, with six different Oklahoma State riders earning seven nominations.

Riley Hogan and Sydney North were named second-team All-Americans in Fences, while Emma Pacyna was honorable mention. Claire McDowall and Jojo Roberson claimed spots on the All-America second team in Horsemanship, and Quincee Clark, along with Roberson, was named All-America honorable mention in Reining.

This year's additions bring OSU's total to 73 All-Americans in program history under head coach Larry Sanchez. Seven selections is the most in a single season since 2016-17, when the Cowgirls also had seven All-Americans.

For Roberson, this marks her third-straight season earning All-America honors, having been named honorable mention and second team in Horsemanship the last two years. This is her first time earning the honor for Reining. The senior is 8-4 in Horsemanship with a team-best four MOPs and 9-3 in Reining on the season.

North makes her second appearance as an All-American after earning honorable mention status in 2019-20. The senior used a late surge to secure her nomination, going 10-4 on the year, including a 7-1 mark with three MOPs in the spring.

Establishing herself as one of OSU's most reliable riders, Hogan earns her first All-America recognition. The sophomore is 11-3 on the season in Fences with three MOP awards and is now 17-5 in her first two seasons as a Cowgirl.

McDowall has been steady for the Cowgirls all season, compiling a 9-2-1 record to earn her first All-America selection. Before falling by a single point in the Big 12 semifinal against Baylor, McDowall hadn't lost since October. She would rebound in the Big 12 final against TCU to help the Cowgirls win their third-straight Big 12 Conference title.

Pacyna earns honorable mention in Fences for the second time in her career, along with her 2020-21 honor. The senior has quietly put together one of the strongest seasons in the country, finishing 10-2 with an MOP against Baylor in October.

Clark built on a successful freshman season a year ago by dominating for the Cowgirls this year, earning her All-America honors for the first time in her career. The sophomore is 8-2-2 on the season and is coming off two wins at the Big 12 Championship as she prepares for nationals.

Oklahoma State is fresh off winning its third consecutive Big 12 Conference Championship crown last weekend in Stillwater. Now, the Cowgirls turn their attention to Ocala, Florida, where they will look to defend their NCEA National Championship April 13-15.
