As part of the National Collegiate Equestrian Association (NCEA), she has competed in eight meets over fences and five on the flat for Sweet Briar, with a career record of 1-7-0 and 2-2-1 over fences and on the flat, respectively. When not in the saddle, Larson-Jackson, a junior business major, volunteers her time for various organizations, working with the children’s ministry at her local church and serving as the diversity representative for Sweet Briar’s Student Athlete Advisory Committee. She is a two-time Old Dominion Athletic Conference All-Academic Team member, she is also a two-time NCEA Academic Honor Roll member and a five-time member of the Dean’s List.
