TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida State's track and field team started hot qualifying at the NCAA Outdoor National Championships Wednesday in their first event when the men's 4×100 relay team recorded a season-best time of 38.27 to finish fourth in the semifinal heats. FSU's team of Taylor Banks, Ismael Kone, Amir Willis and Denzell Feagin will race for the National Championship on Friday at 8:02 p.m.
Amir Willis' time of 10.07 in his heat of the men's 100m dash was good for fifth place but was not among the qualifying times for the finals. Later in the evening, he posted a time of 20.29 in the 200 meters which also narrowly missed qualifying for the finals with a 13th-place finish. Ismael Kone was just one place behind him with a 20.36 clocking in the event and a 13th-place final finish.
James Rivera was 17th in the men's 400 meter hurdles with a time of 50.20, which did not meet the minimum to move him into the NCAA finals.
Jeremiah Davis' season also ended in the long jump with a seventh-place finish on a best jump of 7.88 meters.
The remainder of the championships will air on ESPN2 with Thursday coverage beginning at 8:30 p.m. and the final two days at 9:00 p.m.
