WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The 2025 Outdoor Track and Field Championships ended on Saturday at the Kenter Stadium in North Carolina as student-athletes Kyvon Tatham and Shenese Walker were named ACC Most Valuable Performers of the meet.
Tatham was named the Men's Field MVP after scoring a team lead 23 points, the most by any FSU athlete of the meet. Tatham was victorious in the men's triple jump with a mark of 16.09m (52-9½). He also placed sixth in the long jump on Thursday at 7.30m (23-11½).
Walker was named the Women's MVP for the first time in her career after pulling off the double victory in the sprints with 20 total points. Walker competed in the women's 100 with a meet record and lifetime best of 10.99. She concluded her night in the women's 200 with a winning time of 22.72.
In addition to Tatham and Walker, the Seminoles added three medals including seven gold.
Micahi Danzy became the first dual-sport athlete from track and football to earn a gold medal in the men's 400, after his lifetime performance of 44.38. The Freshman standout reset the FSU record and claimed the ACC meet and conference record. He erased the record that was set by Judson Lincoln IV from Virginia Tech in 2024.
