Florida women's track takes eighth, two relay national titles at NCAA Outdoor Championships

After briefly looking like a championship contender, Florida mostly fell off the pace — but set it with two title-winning relay runs.

Florida's women's track team placed eighth at the 2015 NCAA Outdoor Championships, which concluded Saturday in Eugene, Oregon — but that doesn't mean the Gators didn't set the pace at some stages of the event.

The Florida 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams each claimed national titles in their events on Saturday, knocking off Texas A&M in the former event and USC in the latter. Robin Reynolds, Shayla Sanders, Destinee Gause, and Kyra Jefferson ran the 4x1 for the Gators, earning the school's first national title in the event, and Reynolds, Jefferson, Gause, and Claudia Francis ran the 4x4.
