The Gators didn’t look like a team that was missing much.
The Gators’ offense has gotten quite a bit of attention.
Florida’s track and field team is coming off a rare break. However, senior thrower Keely Medeiros was the one exception.
Emily Dohony and Kitty Cullen have good reason to be scared.
Nassim Slilam has a new haircut. He gave up his long hair and took on a much more polished look. Now, he is working on polishing his game.
A shot sails past the baseline. A backhand slams into the net. A second serve lands just out for a double fault.
The Gators are looking for consistency.
Junior Tony McQuay is most known on the track for his performances in the 400m. That’s why Friday’s win at the Pepsi Florida Relays didn’t come as much of a surprise to most.
Johns Hopkins had the Gators right where it wanted them.
Although Ebony Eutsey and Laine Whitaker are close now, it wasn’t always that way.
The Gators didn’t miss a beat without Kitty Cullen.
While most seniors in high school are looking ahead to their graduation, Gators freshman Dedric Dukes is focusing on the Pepsi Florida Relays.
Even as one of the top teams in the country with some of the top players, No. 2 Florida still sees room for improvement. That’s been the attitude all year for the Gators (15-1, 8-0 Southeastern Conference), but at this point late in the season, getting better isn’t so easy.
The Gators have won 10 consecutive matches, proving worthy of their No. 2 ranking over the last six weeks. Florida (15-1, 8-0 Southeastern Conference) has appeared crisp, composed and confident.
The Gators’ defenders were tired.
As a track and field athlete, one typically competes as a runner, jumper or thrower. Sophomore Brittany Harrell does all three.
After a quick start on Sunday, Penn State got physical.
Florida’s track and field team doesn’t often leave events empty-handed, and the 85th Annual Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays was no exception.
Bob van Overbeek watched as his opponent’s shot slowly bounced in front of him. The junior set his feet, brought his racket back and blasted a thunderous forehand past his helpless opponent.
For Jeff Demps, just winning a race isn’t enough. He needs to make a national impression as well.
