The National Collegiate Equestrian Association announced on Monday that Auburn University will be the host institution for the 2022 NCEA National Championship.
The championship will be held at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, Florida, from April 14-16. The championship will feature a NCEA National Dual Discipline Title and a Single Discipline Title.
"Auburn looks forward with tremendous anticipation to serving as the host institution for the 2022 National Collegiate Equestrian Association championships at the World Equestrian Center," said athletic director Allen Greene. "The combination of Ocala's rich equestrian tradition, a world-class venue and Auburn's six-time national championship program under head coach Greg Williams will make for an unforgettable event for student-athletes and fans."
"The World Equestrian Center in Ocala is a premier venue for equestrian," Williams said. "For an NCAA sport to be showcased there is exciting. I believe that the venue and the people of Ocala will take ownership of this championship because it brings the highest level of collegiate competition in the sport to the city known for equestrian."
Composed of 19 teams, the NCEA consists of female student-athletes from schools across the country. Eight dual-discipline schools will qualify and compete for the championship, along with four single-discipline teams.
