BOSTON– No.19/NR Florida State indoor track and field teams concluded the NCAA Indoor Championships on Saturday in Boston by capturing three All-America honors.
Jeremiah Davis added his second first-team All-America honor of the meet by placing third in the men's triple jump with a measurement of 16.60m.
"Jeremiah did a lot of heavy lifting for us" said FSU track and field head coach Bob Braman. "Jeremiah is the only jumper to record two top three finishes. He's an incredible athlete who is an Olympian in the making,"
David Mullarkey placed 11th in the 3,000 meters (7:55.42), establishing second-team All-America after being seeded 14th coming into the event.
Shenese Walker finished fifth with a lifetime best, tying the sixth-fastest time in school history at (7.19), securing first-team All-America for the first time in her career. It was the highest finish for a Nole since 2019 when Ka'Tia Seymour placed third.
"Spectacular race for Shenese," Braman said. "Top five in her first ever National Championship. She saved her best races for the championship season. Really proud of her performance and development."
The 19th ranked men's team tied for 15th place with 14 points.
"We've finished in the top 15 two years in a row for the men's side," added Braman. "That's big for a program that doesn't have an indoor facility. I thought we competed hard during postseason, but we need to take that next big step during the outdoor season to be one of the top four teams to return to the podium. We've had success in recent years to do that."
