Catching Up With...Stephanie Rucci

For Stephanie Rucci, becoming an Auburn Tiger was a no-brainer. The 2014 graduate and alumna of the equestrian team became a consistent part of the starting line-up her freshman year, and by the end of her career had earned Second Team All-America Horsemanship honors and All-SEC Horsemanship honors. Rucci, originally recruited to compete in Horsemanship, became a Reiner while at Auburn and successfully rode double in both Western events, earning First Team All-America honors and All-SEC Reining honors, along with racking up 12 Most Outstanding Player awards by the end of her career. She currently holds eighth place in team history for career wins in Reining in with 21 wins, along with holding third place in Horsemanship with 31 career wins.
