Charlotte Browning | Women's Track & Field/Cross Country, 2008-10
A two-time NCAA Individual champion and three-time SEC Individual champion, Browning emerged as one of the top middle-distance and distance runners in the collegiate ranks by her senior season in 2010. In the 2010 campaign, she won both the indoor one-mile and outdoor 1500m NCAA titles. At the SEC Indoor Championships, she won both the one-mile and 3,000m crowns, earning 20 team points for the Gators en route to their first SEC Indoor team championship since 2004. As the highest-scoring athlete at the meet, she was awarded the Cliff Harper Trophy at the 2010 SEC Indoor Championships. She was named the USTFCCCA South Region Women's Indoor Runner of the Year following the 2010 indoor season.
Browning set the school record in both the mile and 1500m that season, with former standing for nearly 14 years.
In the 2009 cross country season, Browning led the Gators' efforts at the NCAA Championships, being named a USTFCCCA All-American for her 21st-place finish in the 6k, and added All-SEC and All-South Region honors for her runner-up finishes in both races. Her finish at the national title race led the Gators to seventh overall, which ranked then as the program's highest NCAA cross country placing and first top-10 showing.
