Charlie Jayne, 17, of Elgin, IL, riding In Sync (Thoroughbred: Excavate – Horn’s Girl, by U Pos Ent), finished in the top spot to win the second annual Monarch International/USAE National Junior Hunter Championships – East Coast. The championships were held August 11 – 12, in Lexington, KY. Jayne and In Sync finished the three phase competition, judged by Frank Willard, Betty Oare and James Toon. Jayne was awarded the Monarch International Perpetual Trophy, and a Triple Crown custom cooler. In addition, Monarch International donated a Show Circuit Magazine letterman jacket and a crystal trophy awarded for one year. In Sync is owned and trained by Alex Jayne.

Finishing in the reserve spot was Lauren Van Eldik, 17, of Ocala, FL, riding the Don Stewart, Jr. owned and trained Hilton (Dutch Warmblood).
