    GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Mike Holloway has won national championships, coached the U.S. Olympic Team, and been inducted into his sport's coaching hall of fame.

    The man they call "Mouse" around UF's Percy Beard Track and his local community is one of the most accomplished track and field coaches in history.

    He now has a track named after him.

    Buchholz High honored Holloway on Saturday afternoon by naming the school's refurbished running oval the Mike Holloway Track. Holloway took over the Buchholz program in the mid-1980s and led the Bobcats to their first state championship in the fall of 1989 and several more during his tenure.
