Gator Track and Field Recruiting

Good info lattelarry. He also has a 9.90W 100m. Be interesting to see how he has recovered. Originally from Great Britain he was the U-20 champ there.

 

Add Caroline Wells, a transfer from Stanford. Originally from Florida she did hold the record for the 3200M… breaking the previous record held by none other than Parker Valby.

I remember being very disappointed when she went to Stanford (although one certainly could understand that decision).

 

Another late signee was Evan Fleming from Gainesville Buchholz. Evan won the 4A 800 and 1600 meter races at the state championships.

Evan has excellent bests in both 1:52.03 (before state) and 4:12.30 at the state championship meet.

Riley Smith, another Gator signee from Buchholz was injured in April but was nationally ranked 800M through 3200M prior to the injury in April.

 

Nilsson did not make the finals but went 49.77 in the 400M Hurdles. That time is tied for 4th all-time in U.S. high school history… tying former Gator Kerron Clement.

 

Habiba Harris out of Jamaica has signed with UF . Harris has a best of 12.95 in the 100M H.H. That time would have been 8th in the recent NCAA Championships. Harris is 18 and should enter as a 1st year runner.

Also Gabrielle Matthews a transfer from Ole Miss has signed. Gabrielle finished 7th at the recent outdoor championships in the 400M hurdles.

 

Gators building a strong hurdles group, Demaris Waters 110HH best of 13.40 is transferring from San Jose St. They had a really strong team this year and several of their best men’s runners are in the portal, including some very good 400M guys.

 

Malachi Snow is one of the San Jose St. runners in the portal he was 4th outdoors with a 13.33 and also has a 10 flat 100 meters (windy). He was a freshman last year.

Jaden Smith and Jeremiah Walker are both 45 and some change 400 meter guys, and both are also underclassmen.

We should know soon were they are headed soon.

 

Malachi Snow reportedly to Texas Tech and Jeremiah Walker reported to LSU.

Also Holland Sherrer returns to UF from a stint as the hurdles and sprint coach at Ole Miss. That seems to coincide with the new hurdle signees. He is highly thought of as a young track and field coach.
