Liza Zustiak and her faithful steed.
One of Coupeville’s hardest-working young athletes needs our help.
Liza Zustiak, a sophomore at CHS, plays basketball and competes in track and field for the Wolves, while also putting in plenty of hours in the equestrian world.
She’s largely self-financed in that field, popping up on Facebook seeking work cleaning stalls and such to pay her own way.
Now, Zustiak is asking for a bit of help to meet the financial requirements to compete with the Interscholastic Equestrian Association.
IEA is a nonprofit group which gives riders in grades 4-12 a chance to vie in team and individual equestrian competition.
Zustiak is hoping to compete in Hunt seat and Western, and there could be a big payoff at the end, as those who make it to nationals have a chance to win scholarships.
The biggest prize in 2022 was a cool million dollars.
To be able to compete in five shows between October and January, Zustiak needs to raise $450, and a $70 fee per discipline.
The talented, outgoing young woman, who is a daughter, niece, cousin, and sister to CHS grads, is hard at work raising money one stall at a time, but Wolf Nation can get her over the top.
