Two years before Bobby Bowden was hired and six years before Mike Martin Sr. took over the baseball program, Bernie Waxman was hired to direct FSU's intramural programs. And 45 years later, a beloved
Bernie Waxman retired after having led intramurals for 17 years before becoming the director of facilities and operations for Seminole Athletics for 28 years. Waxman's association and clear love of all things FSU, started while earning three letters from 1970-72 as a track and field athlete and serving as team captain in 1972. Few have seen more change at FSU than Waxman who was there when the Seminoles' fledgling women's softball program played on an intramural field with no fences. Bernie oversaw a staggering upgrade of facilities over his tenure including the dramatic expansion and improvement of Doak Campbell Stadium; planning and construction of the soccer/softball complex, basketball training center, indoor and outdoor tennis complexes, the Morcom Aquatics Center and the McIntosh Building at Mike Long track. Waxman was there from the very start as FSU Athletics overhauled the Moore Athletic Center, and the golf facilities look nothing like those that he played as a student and employee for nearly 50 years. Waxman also oversaw numerous sports over his time at FSU building lasting bonds with student-athletes, coaches and staff spanning nearly three decades. |
