Florida, in the meantime, won the women’s team title after a very exciting final day of battling.
The Gators suffered a major setback at the championships when star sprinter and hurdler Grace Stark went down injured in the 100m hurdles final and was forced to withdrew from her remaining events at the meeting.
However, after a brief inspirational team talk from head coach Mike Holloway, Florida rallied to hold off the challenge from Arkansas and LSU to secure the crown.
Holloway’s team tallied 107 points to claim the SEC Outdoor Championships 2022 trophy and narrowly edged the Razorbacks, who totaled 103pts for the runner-up spot, while LSU finished in third place with 96.5pts.
Finishing fourth was Kentucky with 85 points, while Texas A&M rounded out the top five women’s team on the scoring list with 74pts.
