RANKED THIRD IN THE NATION THIS MORNING

The national coaching poll came out this morning and The gators are now ranked 3rd in the NCAA, this has never happened before and it is predicted that on the past races and performances that we will podium at NCAAs this year which would be amazing!!!




SEC CHAMPIONS






WE WON SOUTH EASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS.... I CAME 2nd!!! I ran faster than I did at prenationals and the course was 50metres longer...sorry to blow my own trumpet but it was a very fun sucessful weekend. The GATORS came 1st, 2nd, 5th, 7th and 9th...so all the scorers were in the top ten. we got 28 points and tennessee got 80, so we beat them by a good margin. We havnt won sec xc title for 12 years so was a very big deal. We will get a championship dinner with the athletic director and we will also get another nice SEC ring!!

PRE NATIONALS 2009

SO we headed to Indiana on thursday, stayed in the Hyatt at orlando airport that was very nice, then woke up early yesterday morning to head to terre Haute, Indiana. It is my third year coming to Pre nationals, first year was a disaster, wouldnt even be able to recall what position I came, last year when I came to florida is wasnt my strongest race of the season, but finished 62nd in around 21.30...somthing and 5th or 7th team.

This year we were in the white race, consisting of most of the teams we raced two weeks ago at Notre Dame. National champions washington, princeton were the two teams that beat us.
Well this year we all did amazing, I came 18th, which was a good improvement and we were the only team to get all 5 scorers in the top 30 out of all the teams. I was third scorer for the Gators. Stacey, 8th, Bec 9th, me 18th, gen 24th and julie 30th, the guys team did a lot better so was a great day. Im just on the plane headed back to orlando at the min, due to get back to gainesville at half midnight. its been a long day!! videos and photos to follow.
