With the SEC Indoor Championships two weeks away, the Florida Gators track and field teams will be using the final weekend of competition to their advantage as they'll be spread out all over the country attending four different meets over the course of the next two days.

Perhaps the most noteworthy is senior women's runner Cory McGee getting an invitation to run in the Wanamaker Mile at the Millrose Games in New York City on Saturday. The Madison Square Garden event is one of the biggest mile runs in the country and you'll be able to watch the entire event live on the NBC SportsNetwork or online at USATF.tv beginning at 3:00 p.m. ET and ending at around 7:00 p.m. ET.

McGee's event will more than likely be shown on the NBC SportsNetwork at approximately 4:15 p.m. ET.

The distance athletes from the teams will be at the Husky Classic in Seattle, Washington on Friday and Saturday at the Dempsey Indoor Center. The Husky Classic has been known in the past as one of the fastest surfaces in the country and teams will use this meet as they begin their qualifications for the NCAA Indoor Championships.

Friday's action in Seattle begins at 7:00 p.m. ET and Saturday's action begins at 11:00 a.m. ET. Joining the Gators in Seattle are national powerhouses Arkansas, Oregon, Florida State and Arizona. You can follow all the action courtesy of GoHuskies.com.

The men's distance relay team and the sprinters will head to Ames, Iowa to compete in the Iowa State Classic on Friday and Saturday. You'll be able to follow all the action at the Lied Recreation Center online thanks to Delta Timing and Cyclones.com.

The rest of the Gators' track and field team will be at the Texas A&M Invite on February 15th at the Gilliam Indoor Stadium in College Station, Texas. You can follow all of Saturday's action online at Flash Results and live video of the meet will be handled by AggieAthletics.com.
