The 2006 season proved to be a challenge for the Gators . A young squad with 40 underclassmen, including 30 freshmen, battled through the toughest track 58 conference in the nation and succeeded in finishing in the top 10 at the NCAA Indoor Championships, while securing top three-finishes at both the SEC indoor and outdoor meets . Despite the youth and inexperience on the team, the Gators still accomplished more than most teams could dream of . Florida notched the 13th top-10 finish in school history at the NCAA Indoor Championships, the 25th top-three finish at the SEC indoor h meet and the 32nd top-three finish at the SEC Outdoor Championships . Florida earned at least 10 All-America honors for the 10th consecutive season and i the 16th time in school history by recording 12 total honors in 2006 . The Gators also had several outstanding individual performances as UF added 21 marks to the school’s s all-time indoor and outdoor top-10 lists . The individual performances were highlighted by Mike Morrison, who was named the SEC’s Indoor and Outdoor Field Athlete of the t Year as well as Willie Perry, who was honored as the SEC’s Freshman Indoor and Outdoor Runner of the Year . o r » 2006 Schedule INDOORS OUTDOORS Date Meet Result 3/22-23 at Florida State Relays NTS y 1/15 Florida Intercollegiate NTS 3/25 at Disney World Invite NTS 1/21 Gator Invitational NTS 3/31-4/1 at Stanford Invitational NTS 1/27-28 at Clemson Hep .
