Florida set the track on fire in the very first event final today by DECIMATING the NCAA 4x100m relay record with the first-ever sub-38 performance by a collegiate squad.
The Gators ran a mind-blowing 37.97 to crush the record set last year by Houston, 38.17, at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

The time turned in by Raymond Ekevwo, Hakim Sani Brown, Grant Holloway, and Ryan Clark, in that order, also counts as the 19th-fastest performance of all time.
The Gators weren't the only program to blow by the former record—Florida State also finished under the mark in 38.08.
