11 JAMES G. PRESSLY STADIUM AT PERCY BEARD TRACK Indoors and Outdoors, the Gators possess two of the finest facilities in the nation. Home of the SEC Championships 1960, 1970, 1974, 1981, 1989, 1998 and coming again in 2009. Since 1959, James G. Pressly Stadium at Percy Beard Track has served as the outdoor home of the Gator track and field program. Recognized as one of the finest collegiate track and field facilities in the nation, the complex provides permanent grandstand seating for 4,500 in addition to increased bleacher seating for special events. The facility is named after former Gator head coach Percy Beard (1937-63), a world record-holder and Olympian in the high hurdles and a member of the prestigious USA Track & Field Hall of Fame. The surface, originally installed in 1985, is pattened after the facility at the Los Angeles Coliseum, site of the 1984 Summer Olympic Games. In 1993, the nine-lane Olympic-certified track underwent complete resurfacing and stripping as part of a $550,000 renovation effort. The efforts to keep the facility as one of the finest in the nation continued during the summer of 2006 when $675,000 was poured into a new Mondo surface, which included installing an additional 30 feet of track space in the southwest corner of the stadium, The nine-lane track also features multiple jump runways, a steeplechase water jump, three circles for both the shot put and discus, three high jump approaches and nine pole vault boxes. The arrangement allows competitors to take advantage of ideal wind direcion to create optimum performance opportunities, while the overall design of the complex provides the spectator with an excellent view of all events from the stadium grandstands. During the spring and summer of 1995, the 2,500-seat permanent grandstand was expanded to accomodate an additional 2,000 seats. In addition to increasing the permanent capacity, the $750,000 project also included adding a new press box, restrooms and con- cessions, as well as a new patron entrance. A state-of-the-art scoreboard was added to the southeast corner of the stadium in March of 1996. With a 90 square-foot screen and matrix capabilities, the scoreboard allows the latest track and field results to be posted almost instantaneously. Plans are also underway to add an even more modern scoreboard in the future. Percy Beard Because of the complex’s ability to host national and international competitions, The Athletics Congress (TAC) awarded Percy Beard Track the 1988 United States Junior Olympic Championships. After the unparallelled success of this event, TAC selected Percy Beard as the site of the USA Junior Olympic Championships in 1994. The six-day event was enormously popular, as thousands of Gainesville track and field enthusiasts converged upon the University of Florida facility to cheer on more than 6,000 of the nation’s finest athletes ages 8-18. Over the years, Percy Beard Track has played host to numerous championship events, including the 2004 NCAA East Regional Championships, 1998’s Southeastern Conference Outdoor Championships and the SEC meet in 1989. During that time, multitudes of spectators have witnessed collegiate, American and world records fall. The site will host the SEC Championships again in 2009 and will play host to the NCAA East Regional for the third time in 2010. In addition to the enormous fan support the facility has established at Florida, the superior quality of the complex and the ideal year-round weather conditionins have made Percy Beard Track, a very popular training facility.

12 STEPHEN C. O’CONNELL CENTER

“One of the finest indoor track facilities in the world, and perhaps the fastest track in the world for long sprints.” -Track & Field News

Home of the SEC Championships 1989, 1992, 1994, 1997, 1999, 2003, 2006 and coming again in 2010

The $14 million Stephen C. O’Connell Center has been the indoor home of the Gators since it first opened in December of 1980. The O’Connell Center track was resurfaced in the summer of 2002, making the track even faster. The 200-meter flat polyurethane facility, best known for its wide, sweeping turns is ideal for top performances in the 200 through 500 meters. In fact, the facility was the site of the 1987 200 and 400-meter trials, which determined the U.S. team for the IAAF World Indoor Championships. While playing host to seven SEC Championships (1989, 1992, 1994, 1997, 1999, 2003, 2006, and coming again in 2010) and the U.S. TAC Pentathlon Championships, the O’Connell Center has seen a plethora of collegiate, American and world records fall over the years. Also spectator friendly, the 12,000-seat O’Connell Center can be configured to seat more than 3,000 track fans. The arena also features state-of-the-art video boards, which provide fans with all of the latest results and times.

13 L. GALE LEMERAND CENTER

The 46,000 square foot L. Gale Lemerand Athletic Center opened in 1995, at the cost of $5.6 million, and is the home to several Gator teams, including track and field. Florida’s already state of the art facility received another facelift in the spring of 2006, when $13 million was dedicated to renovating the building and expanding McKethan Stadium (baseball). Student- athlete locker rooms, offices and the building entryway were all significantly upgraded. The building houses equipment, training and locker room areas, as well as coaches’ offices, for the sports of track and field, volleyball, soccer, softball and lacrosse. Of special importance is the state-of-the- art sports medicine area that provides student-athletes with the highest quality medical attention. The general medicine and orthopedic areas allow the physicians to come directly to the athletes for treatment.

LOCKER ROOM

The Gators enjoy one of the finest locker rooms in the nation. Newly renovated and designed as part of the $13 million upgrade to the Lemerand Center and McKethan Stadium, the track and field locker rooms boast a flat-screen TV, three couches, a shower facility and enough lockers to suit every athlete on the team.

Images of past Gator athletes and their national accomplishments, resulting from their hard work, adorn the hallway of the Lemerand Center.

14 ATHLETIC TRAINING

In collegiate athletics, there is no substitute for proper health care and medical treatment. The Florida track and field teams are fortunate to have one of the finest training staffs in the nation, led by athletic trainer Andy Klock and his staff of one graduate assistant and two student assistants. The trainers also work closely with team physicians and a variety of consultants that cover every medical speciality. Florida’s athletic training staff has the resources available to care for the student-athletes with the most up-to-date treatment to both prevent and rehabilitate injuries.

Jocelyn Gravlee is the team physician for the Florida track and field team.

Andy Klock directs all athletic training activites for the Florida track and field team and travels to every away meet.

"Florida's athletic training staff is one of the best in the country. Our athletic trainers are used to not only getting athletes healthy but also keeping them healthy. Andy and his staff do an unbelievable job of identifying problems ahead of time, so when we do have an athlete get hurt, they are able to get them back much quicker because the problem was identified earlier. Our athletic trainers have and continue to provide unbelievable support to our program."

-Florida head coach Mike Holloway

15 OFFICE OF STUDENT LIFE

"The Office of Student Life is a stabilizer for our team. People don't understand the stresses that a student-athlete goes through. The services they provide, not just academic counseling, but mentor programs, job placement and important life skills help our student-athletes succeed. They do an unbelievable job of helping our student-athletes through everything they go through on a daily basis."

Holloway's success in his five seasons at the helm of the athletes claimed six SEC titles, three NCAA titles and earned 31 outdoors. The latter also became just the second athlete in school Florida men’s program shouldn't come as a surprise, especially All-America honors that year. Things kept chugging right along in history to win the SEC outdoor 400m crown as a freshman. considering the fact that Holloway's athletes or relay teams have 2005, when the Gators duplicated their efforts from 2004 by Holloway’s tenure as an assistant coach, however, was no less won 12 NCAA titles.

All of that happened within just the last nine years, and after Josh Walker's sixth-place finish in the 110m hurdles at the 2003 NCAA Outdoor Championships, Holloway reached a coaching milestone, having tutored an All-American in every sprint and hurdle event. Walker and Clement also became the first tandem from the same school ever to sweep the NCAA 110m hurdle and 400m hurdle titles in the same season in 2004, and they repeated their feat in 2005. After being named head coach of the Gator men's track & field program following the 2002 season, Holloway quickly set out to instill in the rest of the athletes the same philosophy and work ethic that has made his sprinters so successful. As a result, the Florida men won the 2003 NCAA East Regional team title, finished second at the 2003 SEC Indoor Championships and were sixth at the 2003 NCAA Outdoor Championships. For his efforts at the East Regional meet, Holloway was named the East Region Coach of the Year. In 2004, Holloway coached UF to runner-up finishes at all five championship meets (NCAA indoors and outdoors, SEC indoors and outdoors and the NCAA East Regional), while his

Holloway's reputation as a sprint coach was solidified before then, though. One need not look further than his squad's performance at the 2000 NCAA Outdoor Championships, when his athletes won two national titles and scored a school-record 42 points by themselves. The Gators' 4x100m squad cruised to the fastest time ever by a collegiate squad that included a lineup comprised solely of American citizens, and earned the school's first national championship in the event. Bernard Williams capped an astounding first season at the NCAA Division I level with Florida's first 100m national title. Earlier in the year at the 2000 NCAA indoor meet, sophomore John Capel equaled the American and collegiate record of 20.26 in the 200m. He was the only collegian to break the 20-second barrier that year and finished with the second-fastest time in the world before eventually making the 2000 U.S. Olympic Team. Holloway began setting the foundation for the Gators' emer- gence on the national sprint scene from his first year as a coach during the 1996 season. Since then, sprinters have earned 150 of the 214 All-America honors bestowed on the Florida track and field team, including an award in every sprint event - indoors and out. Also boasting international experience, Holloway served as the head coach of the U.S. team at the NACAC Under-23 Championships in 2004, where American athletes guided by Holloway combined to win 27 of the 40 events. In addition to how his athletes fared at the 2004 Olympics, Capel won the gold medal in the 200m and was the leadoff leg of the gold-medal winning 4x100m relay team that also included former Gator Bernard Williams at the 2003 World Championships in Paris. At the 2000 U.S. Olympic Trials, Holloway-coached prodigies won both semifinal heats of the 200m before Capel grabbed the victory in one of the most anticipated track match-ups in the preceding four years. Capel defeated world record holder Michael Johnson and "the fastest man in the world," Maurice Greene, not only in the finals but also in the preceding semis to earn the top 200m spot on America's team for the Sydney Olympic Games. Florida alumnus Dennis Mitchell was working under Holloway's direction when he captured the 100m title at the 1992 and 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials, giving Holloway a Trials champion in three of the last four Olympiads. During the summer of 1997, Florida alumnus Mark Everett posted the second-fastest all-time 800m performance by an American when he clocked a 1:43.20 at a meet in Line, Austria, while working under Holloway. Having served as the girls and boys head coach at Buchholz High School from 1985-1995, Holloway was no stranger to the

42 The Southeastern Conference

In the ever-changing world of collegiate athletics, the tradition of excellence in the Southeastern Conference has remained constant. The SEC boasts a rich history and has dominated track and field like no other conference. SEC TRACK AND FIELD

In the ever-changing world of collegiate athletics, the tradition of excellence in the Southeastern Conference has remained constant.

• The SEC boasts a rich history and has dominated track and field like no other conference.

• The 12 members of the SEC are Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Tennessee and Vanderbilt.

• SEC Track and Field teams, like other sports in the conference, are yearly national powerhouses.

Consider the following:

• Since 1990, the SEC has had at least one team ranked or finished in the top 10 in every sport it sponsors. An average of seven teams capture national titles each year.

• SEC women’s track teams have won 29 team national championships since 1987 (16 outdoor, 13 indoor) and 174 individual national titles, excluding relays (82 indoor, 92 outdoor). Last season, 105 SEC student-athletes earned track and field All-America honors.

• SEC men’s track teams have won 28 team national championships since 1992 (16 outdoor, 12 indoor) and 252 individual national titles (106 indoor, 146 outdoor. Since 2004, the SEC has earned 200 All-America honors.

Winning the SEC Championship is a yearly goal for the Gators.

"The SEC is the best conference in the country for track and field hands down. It has been the best for a long time and we expect it to be again this year. We expect to challenge for the SEC title every year. One of our goals is to win the SEC title on both sides. We know that it's going to be a challenge because the SEC is always competitive across the board."

-Florida head coach Mike Holloway

86 2009 Men’s Track and Field Outlook

For years, the Florida men’s track and field team has been one of the top squads in the Southeastern Conference. Looking back on the team’s past success, it would be easy to pick a specific athlete or event area that really provided the spark that fueled the Gators. If one were to ask head coach Mike Holloway, who enters his seventh season directing the men’s track and field program and his 14th year overall with the Gators, to name the person he expects to lead the 2009 edition of the squad, he wouldn’t have a hard time coming up with an answer. Everyone. “I really believe that in my 14 years here, this may be the most balanced men’s team that we’ve ever had at the University of Florida,” Holloway said. “I’m very, very excited about this year’s team. We had a bit of a breakthrough last year getting back into the top 10 indoors. All of our young men are back this year and we have a great recruiting class coming in.” To say that Florida has a great recruiting class coming in may be a strong understatement. After all, the Gators’ incoming freshmen were named the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class, as judged by Track & Field News in the publication’s January 2009 issue. “I think our new crew may possibly be the best recruiting class we’ve ever had top to bottom. Adding them to the group we already have may make this overall the best team we’ve had here in a long time.”

Sprints, Hurdles and Relays Perhaps the biggest strength of the 2009 Florida men’s track and field team will be the squad’s sprints, hurdles and relays, corps. In 2008, the Gators in that event area captured a combined 25 All-America honors, including a combined eight top-five finishes at the NCAA Championships last season. Beau Burroughs Junior Calvin Smith leads Florida in the sprints after qualifying to be part of the 4x400m relay pool at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Smith captured five All-America honors during the “Kalinka Pitt and Dennis Martin both had great years last course of the 2008 campaign, including running legs on UF’s year,” Holloway said. “With both of those guys back this year, 4x100m and 4x400m relay teams. we should be in good shape in the hurdles.” Jeremy Hall, as a sophomore last season, picked up nine Florida welcomes freshman William Wynne, a two-time USA event wins during the season and earned All-America honors in Today All-American and the 2007 USATF Track and Field Youth both the 100m and the 4x100m relay team during the 2008 Athlete of the Year to the squad’s hurdle corps. He set the world NCAA Outdoor Campaign. He also was an All-America selection in youth record in the 400m hurdles in 2007. the 60m at the NCAA Indoor Championships. “William Wynne is a very talented long and short hurdler,” Sophomore Terrell Wilks captured the first All-America honors Holloway said. “We are very excited to have him on our team of his career at the 2008 NCAA Outdoor Championships, running and are looking forward to what he will do for us this season.” the second-leg of the third-place 4x100m relay.

107 Men's 2008 Season Review

The start of the 2008 Florida men’s track and field season began almost before its squad members could unlace their spikes and put away their implements from the prior campaign. The Gators had not achieved the level of success that they had hoped for in 2007 and the motivation to exceed the previous year’s results created one of the best fall practice seasons in years. That carried over to the regular season for a top-eight finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships and a runner-up finish at the NCAA East Regional. Combining the indoor and outdoor seasons, the Florida men compiled 21 All-America honors marking the 17th year in program history that the Gators had earned at least 10 All-America honors. Florida’s 21 All-America honors were its most since compiling 27 such honors during the 2005 season. Beau Burroughs and Eugene Martin claimed a pair of Southeastern Conference Indoor Championships in the shot put and high jump, respectively. Sprinter Calvin Smith, who later qualified for the 2008 Beijing Olympics as part of the U.S. 4x400m relay pool, claimed five All-America honors , the most for any athlete in a single season since the school’s all-time leader in All-America honors, Mike Morrison, took home five All-America honors during the 2005 campaign.
