Analysis:

The Florida women are coming off a breakout year last season where they finished 16th as a team led by All-American Jessica Pascoe. And, after strong spring seasons the Chris Solinsky led Gators will look to replicate their performance. Pascoe returns for her senior season after qualifying for Nationals in the indoor and outdoor 5ks in 2019. Imogen Barrett completed a great freshman season winning the SEC 1500m and being the only freshman to qualify for the NCAA outdoor 1500m. Similarly, Gabrielle Wilkinson was the only freshman to qualify for the NCAA outdoor 800m.

Rounding out the roster will be senior Elisabeth Bergh and incoming freshmen/transfers Payton Capes-Davis from Bucknell University and Emily Culley a prep from Tallahassee, Florida.
