Natania proved what a difference a year makes as Connor Deal, Wyatt Harlow, Drew Peterson (alternate) and Kamran Pirasteh ripped through the season. The Warrenton, Virginia-based team earned a slot in the national finals tournament with their decisive Southeast Regionals victory (24-13) in a hotly contested match in February against Cowtown Work To Ride, the defending Open National Interscholastic champions. In March the Natania team, their coach Amir Pirasteh, and a bunch of Natania supporters flew to Indio, California where Empire Polo Club hosted the national championship tournament. In the championship match, Natania earned the national title with a 14-9 victory over Eldorado (Jake Brumby, Scott Cunningham and Jacob Deutsch). USPA Open National Interscholastic Champions Natania: (left to right) coach Amir Pirasteh, Drew Peterson (alternate) and All Star Players (voted by their peers) Wyatt Harlow, Kamran Pirasteh and Connor Deal.

Taking part in the draw: (from left to right): Gonzalito Pieres, Marcos Bignoli, Polito Pieres , Juan Villamil and Nico Pieres.

The UCONN Girls Interscholastic Team won the national championship this on their home field in Storrs, Connecticut.
