The
No. 6 University of Florida women’s track and field team claimed the 2012
Southeastern Conference Indoor Championship, its second indoor league team
crown in the last three years and the seventh indoor team title for the Gator
women, on Sunday at the E.J. Nutter Field House on the campus of the University
of Kentucky.
The
UF women scored 132 total points to win the championship, while No. 2 LSU
finished second with 109 points and No. 4 Arkansas was third with 99. The
Razorbacks won the men’s team title with 151 points, while the No. 2 Gators
were second with 137 and No. 24 Georgia placed third with 85.5.
“These
ladies had a team-only meeting last April,” Florida head coach Mike Holloway
said. “They made the decision that they were going to get better and get
better in a hurry, and they were second at SEC Outdoors. They sat down in the
fall and they talked about what we were capable of doing and how we were going
to get it done, and I think what you saw this weekend was a byproduct of that.”
The
Gator women utilized 16 out of 20 scoring opportunities on Sunday, as Florida
scored 98 points on the final day of the SEC Indoor Championships.
