Entries

The Gators began their afternoon with entries into hammer throws and long jumps.

During the 2024 season for Florida, the Gators have excelled at long jumps due to their young and rising roster.

Shifting from the hammer throw to the long jump, Charlton made an impressive splash with a 6.38m/20’11.25.” Florida’s utter dominance has something to witness throughout the course of the season.

Between the roster surpassing many milestones and notching personal records, this squad is the team to beat.

The Gators have been getting recognition around the NCAA for their unbelievable performance and prowess.

With a lot of play left on the field, the Gators will continue to ignite their engines and build upon these accolades.
