Speaking on the phone three days later, head coach Greg Williams still couldn’t quite believe that his equestrian team was once again national champions.
“It still hasn’t sunk in,” Williams said. “Maybe in a couple of days, when things slow down, it will become more real.”
The Tigers finished a remarkable season, going 16-1 and holding the No. 1 ranking for the majority of the time, with an 8-7 win against No. 6 TCU in the national championship meet last Saturday. Auburn also won its first SEC Championship two weeks ago.
Williams says the expectations he had for the team had his nervous.
