The Florida women’s cross country team has a chance to do something today its never done before in its 30-year history — win a national title.
The Florida women’s cross country team is one step closer to winning a national championship.
After winning the Southeastern Conference Championship two weeks ago, the No. 3 women’s team is focused on something else: the NCAA Championship.
With a Southeastern Conference title back in Gainesville for the first time since 1997, the No. 5 women's team will now focus on the NCAA Regional Championship and NCAA Championship meets in the upcoming weeks.
It has been 12 years since the women's cross country team has won a Southeastern Conference title.
Before the Pre-NCAA Invitational began Saturday, UF coach Todd Morgan knew the women's team had a chance to do something never done before at the event: finish in the top four.
The men's team wanted to bounce back from a disappointing finish at the Notre Dame Invitational and it did.
The UF runners are hoping to secure spots later in the season with a strong performance at the FSU Invitational on Saturday morning.
With both teams having wins under their belts, UF's men's and women's cross country squads are hoping to finish strong against nationally ranked teams at the Notre Dame Invitational, which begins today at 4:15 p.m.
