Highest Honor. Former Auburn equestrian standout Caroline Fredenburg received the 2026 Leah Rawls Atkins Award, the highest honor presented to an Auburn senior woman student-athlete. The award recognizes excellence in academics and athletics while honoring leadership, integrity and courage. Fredenburg’s Auburn career was defined by excellence in and out of the arena. The four-time All-SEC equestrian standout earned 37 horsemanship wins and 11 MOP honors while graduating in biomedical sciences. She is taking that same drive into her next chapter as she works toward attending medical school.
