CROOKSTON, Minnesota — The University of Minnesota Crookston has named Monika Frame of Polson as their Female Student-Athlete of the Month for October because of her performance in the show pen for the Golden Eagles equestrian team.
Frame earned a Reserve High Point rider title last Sunday at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, where UMC has had four shows so far this season. Frame earned second place in Open Equitation over Fenves on Sunday, as well as garnering a clutch win in Open Equitation on the Flat. Saturday, Frame earned third place in Open Equitation over Fences. Frame’s performance last weekend helped UMC to a pair of Reserve High Point Team titles.
In the team’s first two shows of the year at Wisconsin-River Falls, Frame won her Open Equitation over Fences class on a challenging horse on the first day. She would finish third on the Flat that day. The following day, Frame would again come away with a win in Open Equitation over Fences and would take fifth on the Flat.
Frame is the second female student- athlete to earn the award since it became a monthly award. The award recognizes UMC athletes for their accomplishments both on and off the field of play.
