Friday, March 11, 2022 | Track and Field
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Anna Hall and Jasmine Moore made history on the first day of the 2022 NCAA Indoor Championships after taking home Florida's first-ever NCAA Indoor individual women's titles in the Pentathlon and Long Jump respectively.
The duo scored 20 team points, to pair with Claire Bryant's two points in the Long Jump, to put the Gators in the team lead on the women's side heading into Saturday.
Hall built a solid lead through four events in the Pentathlon including a personal best of 8.25 in the 60-meter hurdles and a clearance of 1.81m in the High Jump. To close out the event, she ran 2:08.75 in the 800 meters for a final score of 4586.
Sterling Lester ran 2:17.66 in the 800 meters of the Pentathlon to finish in 10th place overall, claiming Second Team Indoor All-American honors this season.
Moore was level with Texas Tech's Monae' Nichols at 6.57m following six jumps but was awarded first place and all 10 points. The tie-breaker used the second-best mark of both jumpers to determine the winner. Moore's second-best jump of 6.56m narrowly edged out Nichols' second best of 6.54 to give the Gators all 10 points.
Bryant earned a 7th-place finish and her second-straight First Team Indoor All-American honor after jumping 6.45m in the Long Jump.
In the sprints, the Gators sent four through to the finals on the women's side and three on the men's side.
Grace Stark recorded new personal bests in the 60 meters (7.10) and 60-meter hurdles (7.83). Both of those marks lowered her already school-leading times.
Semira Killebrew also advanced to tomorrow's 60-meter final after tallying a new personal best of 7.18.
Talitha Diggs, Jacory Patterson, Champion Allison and Ryan Willie all qualified for the finals of the 400 meters.
The Gators will have five scoring opportunities on the women's side tomorrow (60m, 60mH, 400m, Triple Jump and 4x400 relay. The men will have the chance to score team points in the 400m and 4x400 relay.
Florida enters the final day with the top seed in the men's 4x400 relay and the women's triple jump (Moore).
