WACO, Texas – Taylor Brown of California State University Fresno was named one of four first-team All-Americans of the National Collegiate Equestrian Association for the 2013-2014 season.

Brown and her Bulldog equestrian teammates will head to the Extraco Events Center April 17-19 as the No. 8 seed in the team championship competition and will face No. 9 seed TCU in the opening round of the NCEA National Championships.

Beginning this season, the top-12 overall teams (Western and Hunt Seat combined) are invited to compete. The NCEA Selection Committee determines and invites these teams based on a number of factors throughout the season.

The top-four seeds in the NCEA Championship each receive first-round byes in the 12-team format. The top-four seeds to this year’s event include Southeastern Conference Champion South Carolina, Big 12 Conference Champion Oklahoma State, SEC runner-up Georgia and SEC third-place team Auburn.

Auburn is the defending NCEA Overall National Champion. Oklahoma State won the 2013 NCEA Western Championship and Auburn won the 2013 NCEA Hunt Seat Championship.
