But if she pulls that thing again then we'll lose her for the entire year, and I don't want to do that. Junior Kristin Heaston has an injured ankle, and senior Becki Wells was held out of the Relays due to illness. Jones said Wells will run this weekend at the Sun Angel Classic in Tempe, Ariz., but Heaston is questionable because she still feels pain in her foot when she lands after a hammer throw. The men also have a few casualties, with sophomore Dominick Millner's pulled hamstring the only one as a result of the Relays. Millner pulled the hamstring during the long jump event, and three other Gators, Stephen Pina, Brian Dougan and Gerald Clervil, were held out to get some rest.
Nobody has anything that's remotely close to being season ending.
The UF track and field team had 22 athletes recognized Tuesday night for being Academic All-SEC Honorees, with two athletes receiving special awards. Junior Nadia Graham was honored for being one of four Sophia Witherspoon Award winners, which goes to the athlete who shows motivation and hard work. Jett was also singled out with five other Gators for her effort and progress with the Office of Student Life Student Achievement Award. All rights reserved.
