DAVIS, Calif. —  The National College Equestrian Association (NCEA) has announced its 2025-26 All-America honors, recognizing Lauren Kolbe and Mya Clader for their standout performances throughout the regular season.

Junior Lauren Kolbe headlines the honors with a selection to the All-America First Team in Fences. Recognized as one of the top six riders in the nation for the discipline, Kolbe also secured Second Team All-America honors on the Flat. These distinctions bring Kolbe's career total to three All-America honors, having previously earned a First Team Flat nod during the 2024-25 season. Her dual-discipline success this year cements her status as one of the most versatile and consistent Jumping Seat riders in the country.

Joining the All-America ranks is senior Mya Clader, who earns her first career NCEA distinction with a Second Team selection in Reining. Clader's performance in the Western arena was a hallmark of the Aggies' successful season, as she met the elite statistical requirements to be named among the top five Reining riders in the nation for the Second Team list.

The top riders per event nationally are named First Team All-America, while the next group earns Second Team honors. With these selections, UC Davis continues to demonstrate its presence on the national stage, placing multiple riders on the All-America list for the third consecutive year and maintaining a tradition of excellence across both the Jumping Seat and Western disciplines. With these three selections, the Aggies have now placed at least one rider on the NCEA First or Second All-America Team every year since 2022.
