Gators Finish Track and Field Season at NCAA Outdoor Championships
EUGENE, Ore. – Florida Gators Track and Field concluded the 2025 season on Saturday, the final day of competition at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
The fourth day of the championship meet saw six Gator entries, combining for 14 more team points to round out the team scoring.
Highlights
Throws
Alida van Daalen, after two consecutive third-place finishes in the NCAA Discus event, managed a second-place finish in her junior season. Her 64.94m [213′ 1″] fifth attempt stands as the best Discus mark by a Florida Gator in the History of the NCAA Championship meet.
Her runner-up finish is the best finish in the Discus by a Gator athlete, man or woman, in Florida’s program history.
Sprints
Florida’s evening session was quickly derailed, as in the 4x100m Relay, Freshman and anchor leg Habiba Harris pulled up with around 80 meters to go, resulting in a DNF.
Harris, the collegiate leader in the 100m Hurdles event, was unable to take to the line for the hurdles final later in the session. Her ills drew her season to an untimely ending, though she will enter next season as one of the most promising young stars in the collegiate ranks.
Anthaya Charlton, who lit up the preliminary round of the 100m dash with her collegiate-leading 10.87, Faced a difficult headwind in the 100m final on Saturday. She managed to cross the line in 11.19 despite the adverse conditions, earning a fourth-place finish.
Charlton’s finish is the best by a Gator in the 100m since 2008, when Lakecia Ealey finished third.
Gabrielle Matthews picked up First-team All-America Honors for her eighth-place finish in the 200m final. Matthews, running out of the treacherous lane 1, managed to score after sneaking into the event final with the last time qualifying spot.
Jumps
Asia Phillips reached her first NCAA Championship event final, ultimately finishing ninth in the Triple Jump field. With her 13.13m [43′ 1″] effort, she becomes a two-time Second-team All-American, having picked up her first honor this past indoor season.
