GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A pair of school records highlighted the men's and women's track & field teams' spring break competitions in Florida at the 2019 Pepsi Florida Relays and Embry-Riddle Spikes Classic.

The meet also saw Alexia Brooks earn the top spot in the BIG EAST in the 100-meter hurdles with an impressive 13.48 finish. Brooks also earns the 17th-place spot on the NCAA West Preliminary list and 32nd nationally.
Rounding out the competition in Gator country was Jade Gates who placed 4th in a field of over 30 competitors with a hammer throw mark of 56.75 meters.
