Probably women's basketball in pat summitt's final years. That's their claim to fame or at least it used to be. 98 would be their last in football and I know they've never won a NC in basketball, baseball or softball.
by my count, and i am going to include m/w outdoor track we have 9 top 5 finishes so far, hardly shabby,imo.forgot womens cross country was 5th, so 10 top 5.
Gator programs that finished in the Top 5 nationally this season: No. 1 Men's Outdoor Track & Field No. 2 Women's Indoor Track & Field No. 3 Men's Swimming & Diving No. 3 Women's Swimming & Diving No. 3 Men's Indoor Track & Field No. T3 Women's Lacrosse No. T3 Softball No. 4 Gymnastics No. 5 Women's Cross Country
Hopefully, you'll be able to add Women's Outdoor Track & Field to the national top 5 list later today. I gave up on Baseball. What a pleasant surprise to have these Gators playing in the Clemson Super Regional with a shot at the CWS. If you'd have told me this scenario a month ago, I would have said you were crazy. Go Gators!
Tennessee being #1 in baseball and already having won their first super regional game could keep the Vols ahead of UF based on their baseball finish. Regardless, a good year for the toothless wonders.
Tennessee has a #3 finish in rowing which will basically equal our #3 finish in LAX. We did make up 64.5 points on them in Men's T&F. Mouse is the man!
UF picked up 90 points for Women's Track & Field second place finish behind the piggies. The baseball team is one win away from the CWS and guaranteed at worse 7th place points.
From what I read, Florida's women had a 59-53 lead going to the final event, which was the 4 x 400 relay, I think. We didn't make the finals and Arkansas won the event, giving them the title.
We could very conceivably end up with top three finishes in the last four sports of the year - MT&F, WT&F, Softball and Baseball. Do we have a shot of winning this? Regardless, what an incredible close to the athletic year!
We could catch the Vols if they go winless in Omaha and we win it all.....3rd is the highest we can get
Standings minus baseball are out. Fourth assured, could still get third. https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/...10/23.24DI_SpringOverallStandings_6.11.24.pdf
UF can beat UT in the championship series and still finish 4th by 1 point. UF needs to finish 2 places ahead of UT to advance to 3rd place, otherwise a guaranteed 4th place. It's top 5 again, so all is good.
FSU goes 2 and q. Finish 7th. UT goes 1-2 and finishes 5th. We go 5-0 and win it all. Problems all solved.
