AUBURN, Ala. – A record number six Auburn Athletics teams posted perfect 1000 APR scores for the four-year cohort ending in 2014-15, earning them an NCAA Public Recognition Award for ranking among the top 10 percent nationally. The Auburn teams honored include men’s and women’s cross country, women’s basketball, women’s golf, gymnastics and women’s tennis.
