Somebody explain to me why news about the women’s tennis team going to the NCAA final four is added on to the bottom of an article about track.
Do they not deserve more respect than this?

Arkansas claimed the women's outdoor title (123 points) and Texas A&M won the men's title (155 points). Senior Cory McGee and Brewer added UF's second and third individual women's titles to the tally Sunday after junior thrower Fawn Miller's javelin title Saturday. Brewer improved her school record and SEC Meet Record (13.91m/45-7.75, -0.7) with her third consecutive triple jump title, and McGee notched a facility record with her 1500m championship (4:13.38) and PRed in the 5K, all while helping guide the Orange and Blue to 116.5 total points and a top-two finish for the sixth time in the last seven years. Marquis Dendy added a triple jump title to his repertoire with a new PR and NCAA-leading leap of 16.52m/54-2.5, the No. 5 mark in school history. Junior men's thrower Stipe Zunic doubled up in the javelin and shot put, shattering a 22-year-old school record and facility record with his 20.52m/67-4 toss in the shot to give Florida its first title in the event since 1994. Florida accumulated 93 points and has now finished in the top three at SEC outdoors five of the last six years. “Obviously mixed emotions today. This was an incredible meet and everyone competed hard,” UF coach Mike Holloway said. UF looks toward to the NCAA East Preliminary Round in Jacksonville May 29-31 in advance of the NCAA Championships in Eugene. WOMEN'S TENNIS: The Gators have returned to the NCAA semifinals for the fifth consecutive year and face third-ranked and fifth-seeded UCLA at 1 p.m. today at the University of Georgia's Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens. The top four seeds were eliminated during Saturday's quarterfinals action, with No. 8 Florida earning the biggest victory of the day when it took down top-seeded, No. 1-ranked and host Georgia, 4-1. “We thought coming into this tournament that there were 10 different teams that could have won,” UF coach Roland Thornqvist said. “The fact that we now have four teams, three of whom people probably didn't expect to be in this final four, it is what it is. That's pretty cool for college tennis.” The Gators (23-5) would play the winner of today's other semifinal between No. 7 seed North Carolina and No. 11 seed Stanford. A win would send the Gators to the NCAA finals for the 14th time in program history, and fourth time in the last five years. UCLA (25-2) reached the national semifinals for the fourth year in a row. “We saw them play at (National Team) Indoors and they are really talented,” Thornqvist said. “I think they've won every doubles point this year so just like yesterday, we're going to have to be tough in doubles. In singles, they are talented one through six. We've had some same matchup with these players in the past and so we're fairly familiar with all of them. “I'm sure it's going to be a battle. Any final four you play, it usually comes down to the wire. Teams want it this badly.” -- -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GatorNews" group.
