VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – The Florida Gators completed day one of the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships at the Virginia Beach Sports Complex on Friday. Three Gator athletes competed on the first day of the national title meet.
 
Two athletes competed in their respective event finals. Anthaya Charlton earned a fourth-place finish with a 6.71m [22′ 0.25″] effort in the Long Jump. The mark is her career-best at the NCAA Championship meets, and her fourth-place finish ties her career-best finish at the NCAA meets, tying her final placement from last season’s outdoor championship.
 
Hilda Olemomoi cruised to a 15:11.33 time in the 5000m, claiming an eighth-place finish. Her result earned her the 11^th First-Team All-American honor of her collegiate career between her efforts on the track and in cross country competition.
