Intercollegiate Athletics
www.uaa.ufl.eduFor each of the last 17 years the University of Florida has ranked among the nation's 10 best collegiate athletic programs based on research conducted by USA Today and the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. Florida and UCLA are the only schools to finish in the top 10 in national all-sports rankings every year since 1983-84.
Florida is a member of the National Collegiate Association of Athletics (NCAA) and the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and competes in Division I for all 18 athletic teams.
The Gators field eight men's teams and 10 women's sports. The men compete in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, swimming & diving, tennis, and track & field. The women participate in basketball, cross country, golf, gymnastics, swimming & diving, soccer, softball, tennis, track & field and volleyball.
Florida was also successful away from the athletic arena in 1999-00. For the third straight year, Florida boasted more than 100 SEC Academic Honor Roll selections. A total of 117 Gator student-athletes were named during the 1999-00 academic year and UF has had 1,146 Academic All-SEC honorees since 1980, tops in the league. Three UF student-athletes also earned spots on GTE Academic All-America teams in 1999-00.
University of Florida student-athletes have donated many hours to the Gainesville and surrounding communities. The "Goodwill Gators" program was recognized by the National Consortium of Academics and Sports and received the 1998 Outreach and Service Award.
