The Florida women's team also captured four individual SEC titles – Charlotte Browning in the women's 1,500-meter run, Evelien Dekkers in the women's javelin and Shara Proctor in the women's long jump and triple jump."

I'd like to add that Terrell Wilks placed SIXTH by running a 10.3 in the 100 meter final at that meet.

That's an amazing time and only finish SIXTH. Love my Gators!

Hope so; the 2012 London Summer Olympics are two years away and Demps will be a senior.

(BTW, Coach Meyer posted a congrats "tweet" to Demps on Twitter last night!)
