The Gators coveted young runner was in full command on his home territory, competing in his first outdoor season. During the men’s triple, Dixon-Bodie made headlines for his mark of 16.68m/54’8.75.”

However, there was a minor hiccup that prevented the young Gator from holding solo possession of UF all-time top 10. On the flip side, his jump during the event slated him at No.2 in the NCAA for a 16.25m/53’3,75.”

Competition

Dixon-Bodie was quite impressive to say the least and, notably, made yet another splash en route to his SEC recognition.
