Florida Gators place fourth in 2023-24 Directors' Cup standings
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — UF’s third consecutive NCAA men’s outdoor track & field title led 11 top-five team finishes as the Florida Gators athletics program placed fourth in the 2023-24 LEARFIELD Directors’ Cup standings.
Florida is the only program to finish among the nation’s top 10 in each of the last 40 national all-sports standings.
“Another NCAA title by men’s outdoor track & field was among many celebratory moments for the Gators this season,” UF athletic director Scott Stricklin said. “Eleven top-five Florida finishes includes a national-high nine among the top three. So much effort and training goes into preparing to compete on the national stage so we applaud the competitive spirit of our student-athletes, coaches and staff.”
This marks the 15th consecutive complete season with a Gators team winning a national team title. Florida is one of two programs with a national title each complete season since the 2008-09 campaign. UF has 27 championships in that span.
