Without even realizing it, you may be in contention for a national championship, but without submitting an application, you will not receive an invitation. USEF posts weekly ranking lists for each of these divisions online. Please note: if you are ranked on these lists but your name is not in BOLD type, we have not received your application and you will not receive an invitation! Juniors, young riders, Brentina Cup riders—you can’t miss this opportunity! Visit the above link for program applications and submit yours by May 15, 2007.
