History
[edit]
Under head coach Bob Braman and associate head coach Harlis Meaders, the Florida State men's Track & Field team won the NCAA National Championship three times in a row from 2005 to 2007; in 2007, when FSU won its second consecutive men's Track & Field NCAA National Championship, Walter Dix became the first person to hold the individual title in the 100 m, 200 m, and 4 × 100 m Relay at the same time.[3] On February 7, 2010, the Seminoles vacated their 2007 Men's Outdoor Track and Field NCAA Championship in the wake of an academic cheating scandal.
In 2022, Trey Cunningham won the individual national title in hurdles[4] and won the Bowerman Award.[5] Following the 2024 season, Braman retired after serving as coach for twenty-one seasons.[6]
Facilities
[edit]
The Florida State Seminoles compete in the track and field building complex on the south end of Mike Long Track, the Mcintosh Track and Field Building, named after Michael A. Mcintosh.
