PARKER, Colorado, July 28, 2016–The United States' Region 3 of five southeastern states won the North American Junior Championships team gold Thursday with the Midwest's Region 4 taking silver and a squad of riders from Regions 1 and 6 the bronze.
Canada's Vanessa Creech-Terauds on Fleur de Lis posted the highest individual score of the day, 68.757 per cent but it was not enough to pull the team from last place among the eight teams.
Carlos Maldonado Lara of Mexico on Massimo placed second individually on 68.378 per cent that may have been the best finish in the championships since dressage competition began in 1981. He was the sole rider for Mexico in the team competition.
