FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State senior jumping seat rider Ana Bertozzi was named a 2022-23 Ariat All-American for the second time in her Bulldog career. Bertozzi was selected as an honorable mention honoree in the fences this season.
Â
Bertozzi finished the season with a 10-2 record in the fences, with one MOP. It was the first time that she rode for 10 wins in a single season in her career, in any event.
Â
She finished the season with an eight-meet winning streak, dating back to Nov. 17, 2022.
Â
The four-year Bulldog became the fifth Fresno State equestrian to earn All-America honors in the fences and the first since the 2019-20 season. She is the third Bulldog in program history to earn All-America honors in both jumping seat events (fences and flat) at any point in her career. Bertozzi earned honorable mention in the flat in the shortened 2021 season.
Â
The top five riders per event were selected and named the Ariat First-Team All-America by the NCEA Selection Committee. The next five riders per event earned Second Team honors. Honorable Mention honorees were selected via the established criteria below.

There shall be no limit on how many riders receive this award, provided they meet the following criteria:
"Fresno State Athletics - For The V: The Central Valley" - Bulldog student-athletes, coaches, and staff proudly wear the "Green V" to show their pride in representing the Central Valley.
