O'Connell Center in Gainesville, Florida. The Gator women upset the 10th-ranked Tigers, 192-108, while the men came up just nine points short in a close fall to the seventh-ranked Auburn men's team, 154.5- 145.5. The Gator women tallied wins in 13-of-16 events while the men's team registered seven throughout the day.

To this point in the 2016 season, 13 American Gators have already met U.S. Olympic Time Trial-qualifying standards in their respective events (Complete Chart on pg. 10)
