Kay Lennon, Elly Kabboord, Jennifer Riley and Carling Cookerly were the additional scorers for Florida."The men finished where we were projected to be," said head coach Jeff Pigg. "We just didn't have anything special today. Neither performance was what we were looking for. Unfortunately we had many people not run good races on the same day and it was the wrong day to do that."
Thomas Morgan of Kentucky was the men's individual champion, while Arkansas took the team title. The Tennessee women took the team title. Angela Homan from Auburn was the top individual performer.The Florida teams have at least one meet remaining this season.
