Bio

Fink is one of the most accomplished collegiate riders in Goucher Equestrian team history. He is the only two-time National Champion in program history after taking home the honor in open flat in 2014 in the team competition and then earned the individual top national honor in 2015. The Pikesville, Md., native was also a Reserve National Champion in novice flat in his freshman year. He also finished eighth in the Cacchione Cup in his senior year. He was the Reserve Zone Champion in the novice flat in 2013, in open fences in 2014, and he was the Zone Champion in both open fences and open flat in 2015. During Fink's four years, the equestrian team advanced to the IHSA National Championships each season, and the Gophers finished a program-best fifth in 2013.

"I was never coordinated enough for sports like basketball or lacrosse, and I was thus never recognized as a 'real athlete,'" said Fink. "Growing up, I had hoped one day I would find a college where I could continue to pursue my athletic passion while qualifying for the first time by my institution as an athlete. Not only did I graduate from Goucher feeling like I had accomplished a lifelong dream, but being inducted into Goucher's Hall of Fame is an honor I am so humbly in awe to receive."
