The podium finishers in each event and the top relay team will earn an All-ACC First Team distinction, while the athletes who finish fourth through sixth in each event and the second and third place relay team will be honored as second team.
The No. 24 women's team arrived in the USTFCCCA rankings on January 27 and remained in the top 25 for five consecutive weeks, entering the meet alongside No. 9 Clemson and No. 12 Stanford. The men's squad will face off against No. 8 Virginia and No. 15 Virginia Tech.
Florida State will have a total of 48 student-athletes competing at the championships across 28 events. The FSU men's and women's team enters the meet with 10 top-eight seeds and 27 combined all-time performances this season. The Seminoles have also added three school records to this season's resume.
Shenese Walker headlines the women's sprints after a stellar regular season, remaining at the top of the national and conference ranks of the 60-meter, including first in the ACC in the 200 and fourth nationally. Walker has won two ACC Weekly honors this season for her program- and conference-record performance in the 60 at the Razorback Invitational on February 30. Her time of 7.09 stands as the 10th-fastest in the world and fourth-fastest Jamaican this season. The senior opened the season with a facility record at the Jimmy Carnes Invitational in the 200 and recorded the fifth-fastest time in school history at 23.15.
Kaelyaah Liburd will be a spotlight in the women's 400, after finishing fifth at last year's indoor conference championship at 53.15. Liburd opened the Clemson Orange and Purple Invitational on January 23 with a new school and national record with a career best of 51.68. Her time currently ranks first in the ACC.
In the women's distance events, Bieke Schipperen will compete in the 5,000 meters. Schipperen closed the regular season by setting a new school and Dutch national record at the Boston Valentine Invitational, clocking 15:36.76. Schipperen eclipsed the previous program mark of 15:40.40 set by Lauren Ryan in 2022.
On the men's side, Kyvon Tatham will look to capture his second consecutive gold in the men's triple as Florida State holds 10 titles in the event since 1994.
