Noles Prepare for NCAA Outdoor Championship

TALLAHASSEE- The No.20/NR Florida State outdoor track and field teams will be represented by 11 members at the 2024 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships from June 5-8 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.

The meet will be available on ESPN2, and live timing will be provided through flash results.

On Wednesday, Tyson Williams will compete in the men's semifinal of the 110-meter hurdles at 8:32 p.m. The top 12 in the race will advance to finals on Friday. Jeremiah Davis, Curtis Williams, and Jordan Turner will compete in the long jump final at 9:00 p.m.

Friday will feature semifinals of the 4x100 relay, as well as finals of the triple jump, and 5,000.

The women's semifinals will take place on Thursday. The Seminoles will compete in at least four races, starting at 8:46 p.m. with the 1,500. The top 12 student-athletes in each event will advance to finals on Saturday.

The 20th-ranked women's team is led by sophomore Dajaz DeFrand who set a school record and ACC record in the 100, at 10.94. DeFrand erased the time that was set by Eddiong in 2022 at 11.05. She concluded her weekend in 200, setting an ACC record and lifetime best of 22.34. Her performance was the second-fastest in school history.

The FSU men's team was highlighted by Davis as he placed second in the long jump at the East Region Preliminaries with a mark of 7.75m (25-5¼), before competing in the triple jump, placing fifth at 16.15m (53.0).

"We are super excited for the national finals," said FSU track and field head coach Bob Braman. "We had a great prelim round at regionals and we're sending some true stars to Eugene. Jeremiah and Dajaz are our cornerstones, but there are several athletes who could become first-team All-Americans."
