GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida Gators Track and Field has hired Holland Sherrer to coach sprints and hurdles, marking Sherrer’s return to Gainesville after he assisted the Gators during the men’s 2017 outdoor and 2018 indoor national championships. Sherrer brings with him an SEC pedigree as both a coach and athlete as well as a history of developing some of the top athletes in the sport’s recent history.
“We are very excited to welcome Holland Sherrer back to the Gator Track and Field family,” Head Coach Mike Holloway said. “Holland comes to us after some impressive seasons at the University of Mississippi. I am excited for Holland to work here again after he served us as a Volunteer Assistant a few years ago. He understands the standard that we fight to uphold in this program every day.”
Sherrer most recently spent four seasons as an assistant coach at Ole Miss, his alma mater, coaching sprints and hurdles. He worked closely with McKenzie Long, a 2024 Team USA Olympian, and guided her to three NCAA Championships in the 2024 outdoor season in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay in a season that made her a Bowerman semi-finalist.
Prior to Ole Miss, Sherrer was an assistant coach down the road at Mississippi State, where he was in charge of men’s and women’s sprints, hurdles and relays. At MSU, Sherrer coached SEC scorer and All-Freshman member Rosealee Cooper in the 60-meter hurdles, who topped out at 8.15 in 2021.
Prior to his stay in Starkville, Sherrer worked with the sprints and jumps groups at Syracuse for the 2019 season. There, his assisted Eunice Boateng, Dasia Pressley, Alexis Crosby and Cheyenne Trigg, who broke the school record in the 4×100-meter relay at the ACC Outdoor Championships (45.17) then did so again at the NCAA East Prelims (44.36).
Sherrer also helped with hurdlers who scored at both the indoor and outdoor conference championships. Matt Moore finished third in the indoor 60-meter hurdles (7.83), while Richard Floyd and Chevis Armstead II were third (14.07) and seventh (14.38), respectively, in the 110-meter hurdles outdoors. Floyd went on to run at the NCAA East Prelims where he missed advancing to the national championships by 0.07 seconds.
Sherrer helped the Orange sign a gifted class headlined by the No. 1 ranked sprinter from New Jersey in Dennisha Page, as well as Aja Davis, who was sixth in the 60-meter at the New Balance National Indoor meet.
