Gladstone, NJ – Oct. 8, 2017 – After several top finishes and a reserve championship at the 2015 Talent Search Finals, McKayla Langmeier finally led the victory gallop at the 2017 Platinum Performance/USEF Show Jumping Talent Search Finals – East after climbing the ranks to overtake the early leader. As the day one frontrunner with a commanding lead, Taylor St. Jacques entered the second day of the competition with the early advantage and a target on her back, and though she easily nabbed a place in the final work-off, Langmeier proved the most consistent to triumph over her counterparts in the World Championships-style fourth and final phase. With her win, Langmeier can now add a new accolade to her resume and joins the ranks of past Talent Search Finals champions including international names such as McLain Ward, Richard Spooner, Charlie Jayne, Lauren Hough and Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum.
