Florida head coach Mike Holloway was named Women’s Coach of the Year as part of the 2012 Southeastern Conference Indoor Track and Field Awards, as voted on by the league’s head coaches, announced by the league offices in Birmingham, Ala., on Friday.

Holloway, who led the Florida Gators women’s track and field team to the 2012 SEC Indoor Track and Field Championship, earned his fifth coaching honor by the SEC. Holloway was also named the Women’s Outdoor Coach of the Year in 2009, Women’s Indoor and Men’s Outdoor Coach of the Year in 2010, Men’s Indoor Coach of the Year in 2011, and now the Women’s Indoor Coach of the Year in 2012.

The No. 7 Florida women took home the 2012 SEC Indoor Championship with 132 total points, despite only winning one event over the three-day meet. The Gators used depth to capture their second SEC Indoor Championship in three years, as nearly every athlete scored points on the women's side courtesy of 12 seasonal bests.
