Florida athletics captures 250th SEC team championship
In the SEC, some schools are known as “football schools” or “basketball schools.” Florida fans claim UF as an “everything school.” On Sunday, the Gators boosted that reputation by becoming the first program with 250 SEC team championships.
Title No. 250 was won by the No. 1-ranked men’s tennis team. UF tennis took down No. 22 Kentucky to win the regular-season conference championship.

At the beginning of the month, numerous Florida programs were ranked in the Top 25. We’ll see if any of those Gator teams make it 251 SEC championships this spring.

Impressive.
Yes indeed…and for me, surprising.
Congrats to the Gators.
Yeah for you, but this is not new Florida is for sure the everything school
I knew that Florida had a lead and always battles Stanford nationally for the best overall athletic department, but had no idea how far the rest of the SEC is behind them.
Jeremy Foley can take some credit for this outstanding record. He gave his coaches resources but expected them to produce. He had a few misses but not many.
Foley absolutely deserves the lion-share of credit. he was unapologetic for what he expected/demanded of his hires…and he clearly got the results.
meanwhile, greg mcgarity apparently learned nothing from him while working in his shadows….and essentially brought nothing with him to athens. i sleep easy though knowing that uga just hired mcgarity’s right-hand man as his replacement.
Jeremy Foley was an excellent Athletic Director…a position that currently has a lot of “wannabe AD’s” making a Million or so per year for underperforming in their positions.
Truly an all sport school. Have a team in the running for a championship at all times of the year. Go gators!
Good job gators! That’s not easy for me to say but you guys have earned it.
All while being a top academic university, go Gata
Kudos to Florida. They’ve got a 58 year head start on Arkansas though…give us time ;)
Very impressive. Shout-out to A&M too. That’s a strong start for them.
Congratulations Gator Athletic Department. Florida has great instate talent, great weather, Florida girls…no wonder why many elite athletes sign & prosper.
Dang Mizzou that is weak
A great accomplishment
