Tuesday, April 2, 2024 | Track and Field
GAINESVILLE, Fla. โ Florida Gators Men's Track & Field athlete Sean Dixon-Bodie has been named SEC Men's Field Athlete of the Week, as announced by the Southeastern Conference on Tuesday afternoon.
ย
Competing in his first meet of the 2024 outdoor season, Dixon-Bodie captured a mark of 16.68m/54'8.75" in the men's triple jump. If not for a slight wind assist (2.1 m/s), Dixon-Bodie's mark would stand as the top mark in the NCAA in 2024 by 0.28m and would give him sole possession of No. 6 on UF's All-Time Top 10 List in the event. His wind legal jump of the event landed at 16.25m/53'3.75" which lands him at No. 2 in the NCAA in 2024.
ย
Nevertheless, Dixon-Bodie's performance was impressive as he recorded a second-place finish, topping two-time Olympic Gold Medalist and Gator Great Christian Taylor during the competition.
