While football and men's basketball regularly make headlines for SMU, the university has some athletic programs that are among the best-kept secrets on The Hilltop. One such program has won back-to-back conference championships and will compete for national honors in April.
SMU's equestrian team, which ranked as high as No. 2 in the nation this past fall, just captured its second straight UEC Championship. The Mustangs are the first team in the young conference's history to successfully defend a title. SMU defeated Fresno State for both championships and went undefeated in conference play (against teams like Tennessee-Martin and Delaware State).
