Gator Men Finish Eighth at NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships
The Gators finished with 22 team points, adding five to their total on Friday.
Highlights
Relays
The Gators 4x400m Relay ran a 3:01.88 time in the final, earning a fifth-place finish in the final event of the evening. Ashton Schwartzman, Reheem Hayles, Rios Prude Jr. and Justin Braun ran together for the first time, and combined for Florida’s second-fastest effort of the season.
Prude Jr. ran an exceptional 44.86-second third leg, the Gators’ best, despite an early trip-up immediately following the handoff from Hayles. His effort propelled the Gators from seventh at his exchange up to third at his delivery to the anchor.
Throws
Jacob Lemmon finished tenth in the Men’s Discus Throw field, posting a 59.07m [193′ 9″] mark on his first attempt. The Senior out of Sanibel, Fla. was a mere one centimeter out of a spot in the top nine to make the event final. He takes home his fourth All-America Honor, having reached the NCAA Championship meet in the Discus Throw all four years of his collegiate career (2021, 2022, 2024 with Virginia).
Next up
The Gator Women return to Hayward Field tomorrow, boasting six total entries on the final day of the championship meet.
