Florida Gators

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Though the season is in its infancy, Florida posted 15 times and marks that rank inside the top 10 nationally, along with four times and marks that cracked the program's all-time outdoor top 10, Saturday (March 25) at the Hurricane Collegiate Invitational.
 
The Gators opened the day with NCAA top 10s in the men's and women's 4x100 relays. The women's quartet of Brandee' Johnson, Shayla Sanders, Destinee Gause, and Kyra Jefferson logged a 44.07, the second-fastest time of the year. The men followed that performance with a 39.56 from Michael Timpson Jr., Grant Holloway, Eric Futch, and Ryan Clark.
 
With the exception of Futch and Holloway, the rest of Florida's relay runners all returned later in the day and posted an individual top-10 national time.
 
Gause (200 meters), Jefferson (400 meters), and Timpson Jr. (200 meters) posted the third-fastest times in their events.
