The Gators find themselves at the Florida Invitational for the first time since 2018, after it was canceled during the 2023 season. The Orange and Blue took home a first place finish in the Women’s 3k and a second place finish in the Men’s 5k.

This will be the first of three regular season meets, as the Gators look to keep their high placement from the preseason polls. The USTFCCCA projected the women’s team to finish 11th in the nation, as the SEC gave them a second place nod. The men’s team was given a USTFCCCA Regional recognition in the seventh place spot with an 11th place projection in the SEC.

The Women’s 5k will begin at 7:00 p.m., with the Men’s 8k following at 7:30 p.m. Live results for Friday’s meet can be found here. 

Participating Gators

Six men and five women will take the course on Friday evening, with two men and one woman making their Gators Cross Country debut. 

The complete list of Gator participants is included below.
