Holloway coached the Gators to a second-place finish at the SEC Championships as the Gators had five individual champions and qualified 17 slots for the NCAA championships.
Booth, the USTFCCCA National Men’s Indoor Assistant Coach of the Year this season, advanced three athletes to the NCAA meet. He coached Claye to his SEC finish, and Booth’s athletes scored 37 of 140 points at the SEC Championships.
