GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- In front of an Orange
& Blue-clad crowd at UF’s Mark Bostick Golf Course, junior Jimmy Clark
cruised to an individual victory in the men’s college 8k race, leading the
Gator men’s squad to its eighth Mountain Dew Invitational title in the last
nine years. In women’s action, senior Agata Strausa paced Florida with a
second-place finish in the 6k competition as UF checked in third in the women’s
team standings to cap off the 25th Annual MDI Saturday.
In the highly competitive meet, which served
as a preview to the 2013 SEC Championships in Nov., three Southeastern
Conference squads rounded out the top three team finishers on the men’s side as
Florida posted 33 points for first, while Auburn (50) and Tennessee (55)
checked in second and third. Auburn (71) and Tennessee (71) tied for the team
lead on the women’s side, while the Gators racked up 76 points for their
third-place finish.
