History

FSU's NCAA Championship trophies

Under head coach Bob Braman and associate head coach Harlis Meaders, the Florida State men's Track & Field team won the NCAA National Championship three times in a row from 2005 to 2007; in 2007, when FSU won its second consecutive men's Track & Field NCAA National Championship, Walter Dix became the first person to hold the individual title in the 100 m, 200 m, and 4 × 100 m Relay at the same time. [3] On February 7, 2010, the Seminoles vacated their 2007 Men's Outdoor Track and Field NCAA Championship in the wake of an academic cheating scandal.
