Regionals are tomorrow at FSU. If I remember correctly- the top 2 teams qualify automatically for Nationals, and the others could qualify for at- large berths. Obviously we want to be top 2 but if we are 3rd we still have a shot at NCAAs.

Per another message board, men are picked 3rd behind FSU and UGA.
Women are picked 2nd behind FSU and just ahead of Vandy and Ole Miss.

Go Gators!!

The women would likely get an at-large bid after their upset win at SECs. The men have no realistic chance without a top 2 finish.

The rankings going into regionals are:

Men -
23) Florida St
26) Georgia
NR) Florida

Women -
1) Florida St
14) Florida
RV) Vanderbilt

[G2MGA]

The women placed a massively disappointing 4th, behind FSU, Vandy and UGA. Men's race now. Results are here: http://www.deltatiming.com/results/x...south-regional

[G2MGA]

Men finish 3rd as expected behind FSU and UGA. Solid run from them, but disappointing meet overall.

I guess the NCAA championship selections are released tomorrow. Hopefully the women can still snag an at-large.

[Distant Gator]

At least the women won the SECs. That is bigger than getting to the NCAAs and being 20th or something.

[G2MGA]

Women got in to NCAAs as an at-large. Men did not, but did at least qualify Parrish & Clark as individuals.
