On the strength of five team titles by Florida, the Gators on Monday won the overall title along with the men’s and women’s titles in the 2016-17 GateHouse Media Southeastern Conference All-Sports titles.
The final figures came after baseball finished play on Saturday, the final sport to award a champion in this academic year. Florida and LSU shared the 2017 SEC baseball title, which was Florida’s fifth SEC championship in 2016-17, which tied Arkansas for the season’s high for team titles.
The formula is determined by the total points for a school’s finish in each SEC sport it competes in divided by the total number of teams competing in sports a school fields.
It is the 16th time the Gator program has taken each of the three titles: overall, men and women. UF is the only school to collect the three titles in a single season.
The overall SEC All-Sports title is the 27th for Florida, while the Gator program also earned its 23rd women’s and 20th men’s titles.
