Catching Up with Defending Equestrian National Champion, Stephanie Rucci, of the Auburn University Tigers
Conner: How do you like your Under Armour gear? What does it include?
Stephanie: Our Under Armour gear is really nice. The best part is we get both heat gear and cold gear for the different weather conditions. It usually includes 2-4 tshirts with 2 pairs of shorts. A long sleeve shirt. Two sets of sweatsuits (one for travel and one regular sweatpants and sweatshirt). A lighter pullover sweatshirt. A pair of sneakers. Running tights and the tight turtleneck. We also get a few pairs of socks and sports bras. This year we also got a rain suit with jacket and pants then we also got a brand new jacket for colder weather that has a removeable fleece and weatherproof outer shell. Usually everything is personalized saying what team it is as well. However, if I had to complain- everything is unisex size so it's not the greatest fitting.
Conner: Do you feel like it gives you an advantage in a meet?
Stephanie: It's hard to say whether this gear gives an equestrian an advantage since we don't compete in any of the gear we receive, but I would say our gear definitely makes us look incredibly professional when we have to represent Auburn at an event. And it provides a sense of team unity.
Conner: Do you have a favorite product? Why?
Stephanie: My favorite product would have to be the shoes. They are incredibly comfortable and very light.
Conner: If you could say anything to Under Armour, what would it be?
Stephanie: First I would probably say thank you for supporting us. Second, they should definitely pick you. And third, I can't wait to see what we get next year!
