For the second consecutive weekend, the Gators will travel west as they head to Tulsa, Okla., to take part in the ITA All-American.
A string of old injuries and recent sickness will prevent the UF men and women’s cross country teams from being full-strength this Saturday as they take on a loaded field of 14 ranked teams at the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational.
If senior Alexandre Lacroix continues to play the way he did this weekend, he will certainly shoot up the singles rankings come January.
The O’Connell Center floor was slick with water as the pool was clad with UF swimmers and divers Saturday from generations of the team’s past competing in the 2010 Alumni Meet.

While some things remain constant, a level of uncertainty surrounds the UF men’s golf team as it travels to Chicago today to play in the season-opening Olympia Fields Invitational hosted by the University of Illinois.
While the football team deservedly receives national attention with its success under Urban Meyer, the men’s tennis team isn’t doing too bad itself as it looks to put together its ninth consecutive winning season under coach Andy Jackson.
It may not have a catchy nickname like The Swamp or a capacity crowd of 90,000 plus, but the Mark Bostick Golf Course has still proved to be a dominating venue for the Gators’ cross country program.
Florida shot its lowest round of the season Tuesday.
With only nine players on the roster, none of whom are seniors, UF women's tennis coach Roland Thornqvist’s team is young. But it’s certainly not devoid of leadership.
