FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – The Florida men’s track team came up two points short of capturing its first NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship title as the four-day meet concluded Saturday on the John McDonnell Field at the University of Arkansas.
Texas A&M got a second-place performance from its 4×400-meter relay team and used the eight points to capture the men’s title with 48 points, two more than coach Mike Holloway’s Gators, Florida State and Oregon.
Entering the final event, Oregon held a five-point lead over Florida, 46-41, but did not have a 4×400-meter relay team in the event final. The Aggies had 40 points and Florida State 36. The Seminoles captured the event and its 10 points with a 2:59.99 clocking to tie Oregon. The Aggies (3:00.91) then held off Baylor (3:01.12) for the 8 points it needed to overcome Oregon, 48-46. Florida came in fourth in a season-best 3:02.17, earning five points to finish with 46. Members of the team were R.J. Anderson, Lamarr Davis, Carlos Phillips and Calvin Smith.
For the first time since 2005, Florida also had a Top 10 finish from its women’s team. The Aggies also won the women’s title with 50 points, seven more than Oregon and nine more than Arizona State. The Gators finished with 23 points.
The Gator men entered the meet ranked No. 3 in the nation, while the women entered the meet ranked No. 14 in the latest USTFCCCA poll.
“I am very pleased with a number of things that our team was able to accomplish this weekend,” Florida head coach Mike Holloway said. “Obviously, it’s a little disappointing for the men to finish second and to have had some opportunities that we didn’t take advantage of.
“I am very pleased with the effort that everyone showed on the men’s and women’s sides. I am thankful to have such a great coaching staff that did a wonderful job working with our athletes all season long. This was a little bit of a tough one today, but we’re just going to get back at it and continue to fight for championships.”
The Gators concluded a 2009 season that included an NCAA Indoor runner-up finish for the men, an SEC Outdoor Championship for the women, an NCAA East Regional championship for the men and top-10 finishes by both programs here.
Florida captured 22 United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-America honors, one more than last year.
Smith finished third in the finals of the men’s 400-meter dash in a time of 45.29, giving him three All-America honors for the weekend. The three All-America honors give Smith 13 All-America honors for his career, one short of Mike Morrison’s school record of 14.
In other events, freshman Christian Taylor used a career-best jump of 55 feet, 5¾ inches to place third in the triple jump. Freshman William Wynne ran third in the 110-meter hurdles in 13.68 seconds and teammate Kallinka Pitt was seventh in 13.88. Junior Shara Proctor finished fourth in the women’s triple jump with a leap of 44 feet, 11 inches.
