TALLAHASSEE – The No. 15/23 Florida State track and field teams are set to split between two meets this weekend, with distance events taking place at the Stanford Invite while jumps, sprints and throws will compete at the Pepsi Florida Relays in Gainesville.
The first USTFCCCA rankings came out for the 2026 outdoor season Tuesday, placing the Seminole men at No. 15, while the women checked at No. 23.
At the Florida Relays, the 2025 ACC Outdoor 110-meter hurdles champion Andre Korbmacher placed sixth overall with the fifth-fastest time in program history at 13.52 last season. Zach Extine, runner-up in the event last year at the outdoor National Championship, will also compete alongside Korbmacher and fifth-year Tyson Williams.
Braeden Ofosu-Kwarteng is set to open his outdoor season in the 400. Ofosu-Kwarteng currently holds the ninth-fastest time in program history in the indoor 400 after recording a time of 46.53 at the Clemson Tiger Paw Invitational. The transfer also helped the men's 4x400 to the second-fastest time in FSU history at 3:05.18 to conclude the meet.
At the Stanford Invite, Bieke Schipperen will compete in her first ever women's 10,000 alongside freshman Rylee Blade. Blade competed at the Terry Long FSU Relays in the women's 1,500, leading the competition to finish first with a time of 4:22.07.
Live results for both meets will be available on Seminoles.com.
