- 2008
One of the original Seminole Track and Field superstar sprinters, John Poston set school records in the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash and was a member of the record-setting mile relay team in 1951. The team also set five new conference marks while winning the Dixie Conference Championship.
The 1952 season saw FSU compete for the first time ever indoors and over that season, Poston led the Seminoles in scoring during historic wins over Georgia, Georgia Tech and Miami.
As a senior, Poston broke his own records in the 100 and 220-yard dash. His time of 9.6 seconds in the 100 and 20.8 seconds in the 220 were the second and third fastest times in those events for all colleges and universities in the United States for 1952. John's final meet of the season was the Georgia AAU meet. The mile relay took first place, setting a new Georgia AAU and FSU record.
