Answered one of my own questions; 19 of 46 women went to Florida high schools, and 32 of 52 men did. Assuming that many of them qualified for the Bright Futures scholarship, that could certainly help to free up some of the allocation of athletic scholarships to the rest of the team.

While looking at how many UF track and field athletes are from Florida, I looked to see if I could find the major for each (or any) of the athletes. I could not.
I would want a link to something that shows the majors of the track and field team members.
I'll add that only nine (of 27 non-Floridians) of the women are international students and only one of the men is.
So, UF is largely built on in-state talent with only modest contribution from international students.
UF is a good school. I just happen to know the standards in Florida education on all levels, and I'm not too impressed with the research credentials of UF faculty. They're no UC Berkeley, not even comparable in research or departments on any level, nor any U Chicago or Duke. But one thing I can say in their favor is that Florida keeps most of its graduates in-state for college because of the scholarships they give to Florida hs grads with certain GPA/test score benchmarks, and the best of those attending in-state colleges go to UF, no question.
