About Edrick Floréal
Head Coach Edrick Floréal is in his first season at Texas after serving as a head coach at Kentucky and Stanford for the past 12 seasons. When he took over in Lexington, UK was coming off an eighth-place finish by the men and 12th by the women at the SEC Outdoor Championships. The Wildcats also had never earned a team trophy (top four) at the Women's NCAA Outdoor Championships. Floréal changed that and proceeded to lead the women's program to three top-four finishes in the last four years, including a runner-up showing in 2015. He also led the women to a school-best third-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships in 2018 and guided the women to eight total top-five finishes at the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships. On the men's side, UK was 16th at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2018 and among the top 22 in the nation six times in indoor and outdoor under Floréal. His full bio can be found by CLICKING HERE.
