🔼 What A Run. 37 wins. First-ever SEC regular season championship. First-ever SEC conference championship. First-ever No. 1 national ranking. National Runner-Up.

A truly incredible season for the Auburn women’s tennis team came to a close late Sunday night as the Tigers fell in the National Championship match to third-ranked Texas A&M.

Auburn reached the program’s first-ever title match with victories over #10 LSU (4-1) and #4 Ohio State (4-1).

🔼 Runnin’ Wild. Two historic performances highlighted Auburn’s trip to the Southeastern Conference Outdoor Track & Field Championships over the weekend.

Junior sensation Ja’Kobe Tharp won his second 110m hurdles title with the fastest time in the world this year at 13.05.

Auburn’s quartet of senior Azeem Fahmi, junior Kayinsola Ajayi, senior Austin Kresley and senior Tyler Davis won the program’s first 4x100m SEC outdoor title since 1997, running an NCAA leading 38.07 to easily outdistance LSU by 28 hundredths of a second. 

🔼 Finishin’ Strong. The offense of the Auburn baseball squad exploded for 17 hits as the fourth-ranked Tigers run ruled fifth-ranked Georgia, 14-4, in eight inning to wrap up the regular season on Saturday afternoon.

Auburn’s win in the finale gave the program 17 league wins in back-to-back years for the first time since 1999-2000. The Tigers are one of four programs in the Southeastern Conference with 17 or more league wins in each of the last two years, joining Texas, Arkansas and Georgia on the short list.

Up next is this week’s SEC Tournament in Hoover. The Tigers enter as the sixth-seed and await the winner of 11th-seeded Oklahoma and 14th-seeded LSU. The second round matchup is scheduled for Wednesday evening at 9 p.m.

🔼 Teein’ It Up. A whole new seasons kicks off this morning for the top-ranked Auburn men’s golf team as the No. 1 Tigers are ready to tee off in the NCAA Athens Regional, set for May 18-20 at the University of Georgia Golf Course. 

The regional serves as a qualifier for the 2026 NCAA Championship, as the top five teams in all six host sites will punch their tickets to the sport's biggest stage and compete for a national championship May 29 -June 3 at the Omni La Costa Champions Course in Carlsbad, California.

Auburn tees off the first round of its regional alongside No. 12 Illinois and No. 13 Vanderbilt at 9 a.m. CT off hole 1. Groups will be sent off in 11-minute intervals.
