BLACKSBURG, VA - Junior Gonzalo Barroilhet and Senior Collin Lomagistro kicked-off the first day of the 2010 Atlantic Coast Conference Indoor Championships Thursday, February 25, in the heptathlon with Barroilhet holding firm in fifth place with 2847 points and Lomagistro following with 1647 points to be in 11th place. Both 'Noles will conclude competition tomorrow at the Rector Field House on the campus of Virginia Tech beginning at 12 p.m. (EST).
"This is Gonzalo's first competition in a year," FSU Head Coach Bob Braman said. "Tomorrow is going to be do or die for him because if he doesn't qualify for nationals tomorrow then he won't make it. He is currently second in the nation in the heptathlon and tomorrow is his best events."
Barroilhet, ranked second in the nation in the heptathlon, opened the meet Thursday in the first heat of the 60m dash that saw the 'Nole posting a time of 7.14 to take eighth place overall. Lomagistro quickly followed in tenth place with a time of 7.51.
Next up for both men was the long jump. While Barroilhet leaped 6.89m/ 22-07.25 to position himself in sixth place, Lomagistro was unable to qualify in the event and fell to eleventh place. In the third event of the day, the shot put, Barroilhet led the 'Noles with a sixth place mark of 10.94m/ 35-10.75 with Lomagistro finishing in 10th place with a throw of 9.39m/ 30-09.75.
Both men closed out the day in the high jump that saw Barroilhet clearing a height of 1.99m/ 6-06.25 that earned him third place. At the conclusion of the first day, Barroilhet stands with 2847 points in fifth place.
As for Lomagistro, the 'Nole posted a mark of 1.63m/ 5-04.25 for 11th place and remains in 11th place with 1647 points.
"Gonzalo has been trying to rally up since his injury, but it's going to be on the line tomorrow," Coach Braman added. "Even if he can't qualify for nationals, he needs to do it for his team now because we need the points. We need him to be a top three or top four guy. He has some work to do."
The heptathlon will conclude tomorrow with the 60m hurdles, pole vault and 1000m run. As for the rest of the Seminoles, all other events will be starting tomorrow beginning with the men's long jump at 1 p.m.
"I think the rest of us are ready to get out there," Coach Braman said. "The guys seem to be getting healthy and we really need to get through tomorrow.
The ladies still have a few challenges, but we all need to have a good day tomorrow by qualifying. I feel good about it. We need to avoid the mishaps like the no heights or the false starts."
Men are currently in third place with 34 points.

BLACKSBURG, VA - As junior Gonzalo Barroilhet closed out the heptathlon to post five points for FSU, the rest of the Florida State men's track and field team, ranked No. 13, hit the Rector Field House for the second day of the 2010 ACC Indoor Championships. With Brian Chibudu's long jump of 8.02m that leads the NCAA this season, the Seminoles are currently in third place and will battle to defend their 2009 title Saturday in the last day of the meet beginning at 11 a.m.
"Great job in the 200m guys," FSU Head Coach Bob Braman said. "Marlon Woods was all over the place today and he was a fighter for us. Brian leads the nation in the long jump and he looked great doing it. Maurice looked great as well in the 60m dash as well as the other guys with him. I mean we really qualified well today. It was a bit of a bitter/sweet ending because one of our athletes got hurt in the last event which we thought we could have won."
Barroilhet opened the day for the 'Noles in the heptathlon where he posted a time of 8.22 in the 60m hurdles, jumped a mark of 4.90m/ 16-0.75 in the pole vault and closed out the event in the 1000m run with a time of 3:08.42. The junior concluded the event scoring 5238 points to take fourth place.
Jumpers Chibudu and Marlon Woods scored major points for the 'Noles as both men posted top four finishes in the long jump. Chibudu captured first place as the junior leaped the NCAA's top mark of the season with 8.02m/26-03.75 to score 10 points and win a gold medal. Woods took Chibudu's lead as the newcomer jumped 7.32m/24-0.25 to take fourth place and give four points to FSU.
Posting eight points in the high jump was junior Andrew Bachelor as the 'Nole leaped a mark of 2.10m/6-10.75 to take the silver medal.
Scoring a point for Florida State was Travis Whitfield in the weight throw as he earned eighth place with a toss of 17.50m/57-05.00 that is noted as a personal record for the senior.
Distance runners Matt Leeder and newcomer David Forrester both qualified for the mile run final as both 'Noles posted a top five finish time with Forrester taking third place with 4:07.77 and Leeder finishing fifth with 4:07.94. Both men will take the track at 12 p.m. Sunday.
Woods continued qualifying for the Seminoles as the newcomer finished the 60m hurdles with a time of 8.12 to take eighth place and will compete in the finals Saturday at 12:40 p.m.
Junior Pablo Navarette ran a season-best 400m dash with 48.17 to finish in fourth place that qualified him for the finals Sunday at 1 p.m.
Making huge strides for the 'Noles were sprinters Maurice Mitchell and David Ambler in the 60m dash where both men qualified for finals Sunday at 1:20 p.m. Mitchell's third place time of 6.68 is noted as the 13th best performance this season for the NCAA while Ambler's third place time of 6.71 is among the top 20 in the NCAA. Both times also qualify as NCAA provisional.
Mitchell alongside Charles Clark and Brandon Byram governed the track for the 200m as all three Seminoles earned not only qualifying times for the finals Sunday, but also scored NCAA provisional marks. Mitchell led the group with a first-place time of 21.17 with Clark quickly following in 21.18 to take second place and Byram running a time of 21.24 to finish in third. This is Clark's and Mitchell's first provisional time for the event as Byram already owns an automatic time from his performance at the Tyson Invitational.
Setting a personal record in the 800m and also qualifying for the finals was newcomer Darrin Gibson with a time of 1:51.88 that earned him third place.
"We competed really well," Coach Braman added. "Everyone matched their seed or did better. We moved into a good position today. We need to just avoid the injuries."
The Seminoles are currently in second place as they head into the final day.
Feb. 26, 2010
BLACKSBURG, VA – The 20th ranked Florida State women's track and field team opened its first day of the 2010 ACC Indoor Championships successfully by positioning itself in second place with 35 points as it heads into the final day of the meet Saturday, February 27. The Seminoles will hit the Rector Field House on the campus of Virginia Tech tomorrow beginning at 10 a.m. with the women's high jump.
"The long jump was unbelievable," FSU Head Coach Bob Braman said. "Amy is going to nationals as well as Kim. They both did a great job. Caila Coleman did a great job by getting a lifetime best by two feet. A couple of injuries, but that was the only misfortune of the day. We had a good first day. Jennifer Dunn did a great job for her first ACC indoor meet. We are looking to keep fighting. I really like the way we fought."
Led by both Kim Williams and Amy Harris in the long jump, FSU successfully finished the day by posting two NCAA automatic marks in the event so both 'Noles could get their chance to battle at the national meet.
Matching her personal record was Williams as the Seminole earned her third indoor ACC medal with a second place mark of 6.51m/21-04.25 to score eight points. The junior's jump is fourth in the nation.
Harris followed her teammates lead as she earned her first automatic qualification with a new personal record leap of 6.37m/ 20-10.75 to take fourth place and win five points. Her mark is the sixth's best performance in the NCAA.
Earning a silver medal and scoring eight points to push FSU into second place was Liz Mabry in the pole vault with a mark of 4.05m/13-03.25.
Scoring FSU's first points was senior Caila Coleman in the weight throw as the 'Nole posted five points with a mark of 18.19m/ 59-08.25 that earned fourth place. Coleman's mark is also a personal record.
Sophomore Jennifer Dunn posted a time of 16:47.68 in the 5000m run to take fourth place and contribute five points for the Seminoles.
Kicking off the day for the Garnet and Gold were distance runners Pilar McShine and Amanda Winslow in the mile run prelims. While McShine ran a notable 4:51.68 to qualify for the finals Sunday, Winslow took her lead as she too ran a qualifying time with 5:01.14.
A trio of 'Noles dominated the women's 60m dash with Candyce McGrone, Teona Rodgers and Danielle Jeffrey all earning spots in the finals Sunday at 1:30 p.m. McGrone and Rodgers both posted an NCAA provisional time of 7.44 to finish in third and fifth, respectively, while Jeffrey finished in eighth with a time of 7.48.
The same threesome went on to battle in the 200m which unfortunately saw Rodgers not finishing due to an injury. However, McGrone was successful in earning a qualifying time for the finals with 24.18 that took sixth place.
Wrapping up the day was the distance medley crew composed of Winslow, Latera Davis, Christal Washington and Amanda Quick who finished in fifth place with a time of 11:44.92 and scored four points.
Teams combine for five individual crowns.
Feb. 27, 2010
BLACKSBURG, VA - Florida State played catch-up most of Saturday afternoon, but a fast finish allowed the Seminoles to raise the ACC Men's Indoor Track and Field Championship trophy for the eighth straight year.
Propelled by a sweep of the gold, bronze and silver medals in the 200-meter dash, coach Bob Braman's Seminoles pulled ahead over the final three running events to finish with 107 team points.
North Carolina placed second with 103.5 points, followed by host Virginia Tech with 97 and Virginia with 77. NC State tallied 63 team points to round out the top five.
The Men's Indoor Championship is the ninth overall for FSU, which captured its first in 1994.
Clemson, coached by Lawrence Johnson, brought home the Tigers' second ACC Women's Track and Field Indoor title and their first since 1992. Clemson took an 18-point lead into Saturday's final session and kept a comfortable lead with consistent performances throughout the final 11 events.
The Tigers finished with a strong 145.5 points. Florida State finished second with 93, followed by Virginia Tech with 74, Duke with 60 and Miami with 56.
The exciting final day featured an ACC-record and site best-tying record performance by Virginia Tech's Queen Harrison in the women's 60 meter hurdles. Harrison's blazing time of 7.94 topped the 24-hour mark of 7.99 she set in Friday's qualifying heat.
Just minutes after completing that record run, Harrison raced to another gold-medal time in the 400-meter dash, posting a winning time of 53.06.
And Florida State's Kimberly Williams set an ACC record of 46-8.25 in the women/s triple jump, assuring her of her third straight gold medal in the event and giving her the top two distances in the NCAA this year. Saturday's attempt leads the NCAA this season, set a Rector Field House record, and was just two centimeters off the all-time NCAA record.
Florida State's tide-turning men's 200 meter dash performance came in the 14th of the meet's 17 events and saw Charles Clark post a gold-medal time of 20.67 - the fastest in the NCAA this season. Teammates Maurice Mitchell (20.87) and Brandan Byram (21.04) rounded out the top three.
Entering the final three events, North Carolina led with 88.5 points, followed by Florida State with 88 and Virginia with 72.
The Seminoles then slipped into the lead behind Matthew Leeder's second-place finish in the 3,000-meter run. NC State's John Martinez won the gold medal in the event with a time of 8:09.77.
Virginia Tech moved into contention with a medals sweep in the pole vault. Hunter Hall grabbed the gold with a winning vault of 17-8.5, while Jared Jodon claimed the silver and Yavgenjy Olhovsky the bronze. But Florida State's third-place finish in the 4x400 relay (behind North Carolina and Clemson) proved enough to maintain the overall lead.
The men's mile run saw Virginia Tech sophomore Michael Hammond's strong finish net a winning time of 4:10:36, edging North Carolina's Adam Cunningham (4:10.50) and Duke's Cory Nanni (4:10.63).
Miami sophomore Devon Hill posted a winning time of 7.78 in the 60-meter hurdles, while North Carolina freshman Clayton Parros led the 400-meter dash with a time of 47.02.
Virginia placed the top two runners in the men's 800-meter run as freshman Robby Andrews took the gold with a time of 1;50.73 and sophomore Lance Roller placed second at 1:51.21.
In the men's 60-meter dash, Florida State's Mitchell led all sprinters with a first-place time of 6.66, a fraction ahead of NC State's A'Tolani Akinkuoto (6.67).
Georgia Tech senior Steve Marcele earned a gold medal in the men's shot put for the third year in a row with a winning throw of 61-11. Georgia Tech bagged another gold medal in the men's triple jump, where Alphonso Jordan posted a winning distance of 53-4.25.
Clemson led the women's scoring heading into Saturday, and April Sinkler kept the Tigers' momentum flowing in the day's first event by successfully defending her 2009 individual title in the high jump. Sinkler, who is also a two-time winner in the women's long jump, cleared the bar with an NCAA-qualifying leap of 6-0.75.
A first-place finish by freshman Brianna Rollins in 200-meter dash helped the Tigers further solidify their 2010 championship.
The women's mile featured a 1-2 finish by the Semionles' Pilar McShine (4.44.62) and Amanda Winslow (4:46.95). McShine captured the silver medal in 2009. The 800-meter runs saw Boston College's Caitlin Bailey take home the gold medal for the second consecutive year with a time of 2:07.64.
Boston College captured another gold medal in a women's running event as senior Mallory Champa set the pace in the 3,000 meters.
Virginia's Maureen Laffan won the women's shot put with a throw of 52-4.75, a fraction ahead of the throw of 52-4.5 by Lawanda Henry of NC State.
The women's 4x400 relay concluded the day's events, and Clemson added an exclamation point with another gold medal. The Tigers posted a winning time of 3:35.76, breaking the standing ACC record of 3:38.40 set by Miami in 2006.

Williams Claims Another Title.
Women finish tied for seventh while men claim a tie for 12th.
FAYETTEVILLE, AR - Kim Williams proved why she is one of the top triple jumpers in the country Saturday night as she became just the fifth woman in NCAA history to win back-to-back indoor triple jump crowns.
Williams' top jump reached as the Kingston, Jamaica, native earned her fourth career national title and her seventh All-American honor in her two and a half year career. Williams hit the mark in her third and final jump of the opening round to move on to the three-jump final where she was unable to surpass her previous mark but still claimed the top spot and her second straight indoor national title.
"What a great honor for Kim to win another national title in the triple jump," head coach Bob Braman said. "She was outstanding this indoor season and has been a huge part of our team's success."
Pilar McShine earned her third All-American honor and second straight in the mile run as she claimed third place in a time of 4:37.20.
Florida's Charlotte Browning led most of the race and McShine made a move with less than two laps left to move into second place. McShine was unable to hold off Washington's Katie Follett down the final stretch finishing in third place. McShine improved on her finish from a year ago as the Port-of-Spain, Trinidad & Tobago, native finished fourth in the mile at the 2009 NCAA Indoor Championships.
Maurice Mitchell made it two for two in All-American honors as the junior placed seventh in the 60m dash in a time of 6.67 just a hundredth of a second slower than his prelim time. Mitchell also claimed All-American honors on Friday with a fifth place finish in the 200m dash.
Matt Leeder turned in a top 10 finish in the men's 3000m run as he ran an 8:17.44. Leeder was in the middle of the pack the majority of the race but was unable to move into scoring territory for the Seminoles.
Andrew Bachelor cleared seven feet in the high jump for the third time this season as he finished in a tie for 15th place. Bachelor cleared 6-10.25 on two attempts before reaching 7-0.25 on his third and final attempt in the second round. The Pompano Beach, Fla., native was unable to clear 7-2.25 in the third round.
"We battled a number of injuries during the indoor season but we have always been an outdoor team and that is what we are gearing up for now," Braman said.
On the women's side the Seminoles finished in the top 10 for the third straight season with 20 team point, while the University of Oregon claimed the national title with a total of 61 points.
Meanwhile on the men's side, the Seminoles finished in the top 20 for the 12th consecutive national meet with a tie for 12th place. FSU posted 16 team points as the University of Florida won the title with 57 team points.
The Seminoles will continue the outdoor season next Friday as they will head to Tampa for the Bulls Invitational hosted by USF.

Ambler and Jeffrey post nation's top times.
TAMPA, FL - A pair of Seminole sprinters stole the show at the Bulls Invitational in Tampa, Fla. Friday night as Danielle Jeffrey on the women's side and David Ambler on the men's side both set the nation's top time in the 100m dash.
"What a great way to start the outdoor season for both Danielle (Jeffrey) and David (Ambler)," head coach Bob Braman said.
On the track Danielle Jeffrey turned in the nation's top time in the 100m dash as the Kingston, Jamaica native, ran an 11.71 to take first place. LaSonya Rodgers also posted a sub-13 time in the 100m as she ran a 12.46 to post a top-20 finish. Jeffrey also turned in the third-best 200m mark in the region later in the day as the sophomore crossed the line in 24.20 for second place.
David Ambler turned in a similar nation-leading performance on the men's side as the freshman ran 10.37 to take the top spot and put himself in good position to make the regional very early in the season. Ambler also claimed a top five finish in the 200m with a time of 21.46 which was good for fourth.
In the men's hammer Travis Whitfield set a personal best and the third-best mark in the region this outdoor season with a top throw of 194-8 to claim the Bulls Invitational title. Trevor Andrews joined Whitfield in the top 10 as he threw the hammer 159-3 to earn seventh place.

The region's leader in the shot put posted another 50-foot toss on Friday as Allyn Laughlin threw the shot 50-2.5 to claim the individual title.
Valerie Fluornoy improved on her region-leading time in the 100m hurdles as she ran a 13.85 to take second place in the event.
Bree-Arne McArdle and Emily Ness posted top 10 finishes in the 1500m with times of 4:33.84 and 4:39.39, while McArdle's mark set a new personal best.

'Noles Wrap Up FSU Relays.
FSU earned seven top three finishes in the final day of competition.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - The Florida State track and field teams wrapped up the FSU Relays Saturday afternoon at the Mike Long Track. In the last day of its first home meet of the season, FSU was able to post seven top three finishes including the men's 4x400m relay squad who set the NCAA's best time this season with a mark of 3:06.93.
"It was a terrific end to a great FSU Relays," FSU Associate Head Coach Harlis Meaders said. "Marecia Pemberton debuted for FSU in the 100m and it was a terrific start for her. Teona Rodgers in the 200m did an excellent job. Amy Harris and Michelle Jenije did well in the jumps. Allyn Laughlin improved her performance in the shot put. The women's 4x400m ran a solid time. Overall it was a terrific day for the women. It was a great way to wrap up the FSU Relays."
Leading the women were the 100m sprinters in Marcia Pemberton and Danielle Jeffrey. In her debut as a Seminole, Pemberton ran the NCAA's second fastest time with 11.41 to earn first place, while Jeffrey posted the nation's fourth fastest time with 11.62 to take second place.
Junior Teona Rodgers kicked-off her season in the 200m where the 'Nole captured first place with an impressive time of 24.06. The time stands as 15th in the nation.
Senior Allyn Laughlin represented the Seminole throwers well in the shot put as she dominated the field with a toss of 15.55m to take first place.
Newcomer Michelle Jenije led FSU in the triple jump with a second-place mark of 12.53m that is noted as the NCAA's sixth best performance of the season, while Amy Harris followed in fifth place with a leap of 12.29m which is the 17th farthest jump in the nation this season.
Closing out the day for the women was the 4x400m squad of Cinnamon Johnson, Latera Davis, Dayonne Rollins and Rodgers who teamed up to finish in fourth place with a time of 3:46.07.
"On the men's side I have to start with the men's 4x400m," Coach Meaders said. "They ran the fastest time in the country. They all put in a good effort against the professional team that came in front of them. We are really happy with the progress of the relays."
Highlighting the day for the men was the 4x400m foursome of Pablo Navarrete, Maurice Mitchell, Charles Clark and Brandon Byram who were the first collegiate team to cross the finish line with a blistering time of 3:06.93 that leads the nation this season.
Darrin Gibson took care of business in the 800m as the freshman dominated with a first-place finish with a time of 1:51.29. Gibson's personal-record time is noted as the 11th best time in the country.
"Darrin Gibson competed really well today," Coach Meaders said. "He had a terrific indoor season. Aaron Steele has also been a team contributor through our conference titles and he did great."
Junior Aaron Steele marked the ACC's second best triple jump as he earned third place with a mark of 14.78m.
"Overall it was a great meet," Coach Meaders said. "The fans were great. We had a lot of participation and a lot of hype. It was a wonderful meet."

Pemberton Runs NCAA's Fastest 100m Time.
In her second performance as a 'Nole, Pemberton continues to lead the nation.
April 2, 2010
AUSTIN, TX & GAINESVILLE, FL - The Florida State track and field teams (Men- No. 4/ Women- No. 5) continued the push upward Saturday night at the Texas and Florida Relays by having five Seminoles set top 10 NCAA performances including a nation leading 100m time of 11.20 by freshman Marecia Pemberton. FSU will wrap up competition Saturday at both meets.
"We had a whale of a day in women's sprints," FSU Head Coach Bob Braman said. "It's an unbelievable time for Marecia. Candyce and Teona did phenomenal in the 200m and it was a lifetime best for Candyce. After a tough indoor season, to see them step up was fantastic. Darrin Gibson ran a lifetime best and Nathan Duby gave good effort."
The women's sprints group dominated the Florida Relays with three 'Noles setting top 10 times in the NCAA.
In the newcomer's second performance as a Seminole, Pemberton blew past the competition as she captured first place in the 100m with a time of 11.20. Pemberton's time matched FSU's top performance on the all-time performance list in program history. Danielle Jeffrey finished in 12th place in the same event with a time of 11.61.
Candyce McGrone also had an impressive showing in the 200m as she ran a personal-record time of 23.16 which is third in the nation. Teammate Teona Rodgers joined McGrone in the event and took sixth place with a notable time of 23.32 that sits as the fourth fastest time in the NCAA.
As the only field athlete to represent FSU in Florida, Caila Coleman posted a mark of 48.84m in the hammer throw to take fourth place.
The distance crew had a good showing as Jennifer Dunn earned second place in the 3000m steeplechase with a time of 10:32.25 that is noted as 13th in the nation, while newcomer Pasca Cheruiyot opened her season with a runner-up finish in the 5000m with a time of 16:21.12 that is the ninth best time in the NCAA this season.
"We were excited to see Ngoni back on the runway" Associate Head Coach Harlis Meaders said. "Texas Relays provides an opportunity to compete against the best athletes in the country and it is the best meet we have all year. This meet is the perfect setup to the conference meet and NCAA. I was excited to see everyone compete and I think we learned a lot."
While the track athletes took care of business in Florida, a few of the field athletes continued to impress at Texas.
Leading the squad was Ngoni Makusha as the 'Nole opened his season with a leap of 7.54m in the long jump that is recorded as the NCAA's eighth best jump this season. Marlon Woods, who currently leads the nation with his jump from FSU Relays (7.99m), jumped a mark of 7.48m to finish in seventh place.
On the women's front, Amy Harris leaped the NCAA's eighth best mark in the long jump with 6.21m that earned her sixth place.
Sprinters wrap up Florida Relays.
April 3, 2010
AUSTIN, TX & GAINESVILLE, FL - After a busy day of track action on Friday the Seminole squads (Men: No.4/Women: No. 5) wrapped up a pair of meets on Saturday. The shot putters were in action at the Texas Relays while sprinters were competing at the Florida Relays.
"Today was a much quieter one but the women's 4x100m turned in another season best after all four of them had great times on Friday," head coach Bob Braman said. "We are going to keep moving forward and get ready for the Seminole Invite next weekend in our own backyard."
The women's 4x100m relay squad improved on their mark from a week ago as the group of Marecia Pemberton, Candyce McGrone, Danielle Jeffrey and Teona Rodgers clocked a 44.57 to claim fourth place and third place among college teams. The group's time currently ranks among the top 10 in the East region.
Michelle Jenije claimed eighth place in the triple jump as she cleared 40-0.75, falling short of her previous season-high of 41-1.5.
Meanwhile at the Texas Relays, shot putters Allyn Laughlin and Michael Putman were in action. Laughlin finished eighth in the women's shot put with a top toss of 51-0, a quarter of an inch shorter than her top throw of the season as the junior holds the eighth-best throw in the region this year.
Putman turned in a top throw of 59-6.25 to move into the top 5 in the region as he finished fourth overall and third among collegians at the Texas Relays.
The Seminoles will return to Tallahassee next weekend as they will host the second of three home meets this season with the Seminole Invite getting under way on Friday, April 9.

The men's 800m saw a trio of runners post top 50 regional times led by Nathan Duby who crossed the line in 1:50.95 for the win. David Forrester (1:51.46) and Darrin Gibson (1:51.81) finished 3-4 in the race.

Pasca Cheruiyot was in a battle right from the start in the 10,000m as she pulled away from the rest of the field along with Clemson's Kimberly Ruck and Wake Forest's Anna Nosenko. Not far behind the lead pack was Andrea Palen who was leading the second group for most of the race.
"Pasca and Andrea both ran great races and put themselves in good position for regionals," head coach Bob Braman said. "We fought really hard in every event."
With less than two miles to go Ruck and Nosenko pulled away from Cheruiyot, but the junior maintained a close margin with the leaders and held on for the third place finish in a time of 34:57.79.

Michael Putman opened the scoring for the Seminoles on Thursday as the sophomore threw the discus 178-6 to finish fourth overall and garner five points for FSU.

The Seminoles grabbed six team points in the men's javelin as Bryan Howard earned fourth place for five points and Gonzalo Barroilhet held on to eighth place for a single point. Howard hit 206-10 in his second throw, while Barroilhet threw his top mark of 185-4 on his second attempt as well.

"This is what ACC track is about, four teams that can win coming down to the last day," head coach Bob Braman said. "We had to get points from everywhere to win this meet."
The Noles opened and closed with a bang on the track as the group of David Ambler, Brandon Byram, Maurice Mitchell and Brian Chibudu claimed the 4x100m relay with the 11th-fastest time in the country this season. Mitchell was joined in the 4x400m relay by Pablo Navarrete, Darrin Gibson and Kevin Borlee who closed a gap on the final leg to help claim the title for the Noles.
Kevin Borlee tacked on 10 more team points with his first ACC Championship in the 400m with the seventh-fastest time in the nation this season at 45.93. Borlee got off to a strong start and cruised with the wind at his back before pulling away on the final turn and holding off the competition in the last 100m.

"Today was a great day, everything came together for me and team," Maurice Mitchell said.
Nathan Duby joined Mitchell and Byram with All-ACC honors as the sophomore completed the 800m run in 1:51.03 grabbing third place in the process and six important team points.
Freshman David Forrester made a good impression in his very first ACC Outdoor Championships as he claimed fourth place in the 5,000m as he ran a time of 14:29.71, but coming up with three huge points for the Noles was Matt Leeder who turned it on in the final 400m to grab sixth place in 14:30.13.
Tacking on another pair of points was Andrew Jacobs in the 400m hurdles with his seventh-place time of 53.59.
Andrew Bachelor earned his first All-ACC honor in the high jump as he cleared 6-10.25 in just his fourth jump of the day to earn second place over NC State's Kris Kornegay-Gober who equaled his mark but needed two attempts at 6-8.75. Joining Bachelor in the high jump was Marlon Woods who cleared 6-8.75 to grab a tie of fourth place and 4.5 team points.
Travis Whitfield garnered three team points as the senior closed out his ACC career with a top throw of 194-3 in the hammer throw. Whitfield reached the mark on his second attempt to advance to the final as the throw was his second longest of the season.
William Steele set a new personal best in the triple jump as he cleared 50-4.75 in his very first jump to earn three team points and a sixth-place finish. Steele was joined in the triple jump by Marlon Woods who narrowly missed out on scoring in three events on the weekend as he finished ninth with a top jump of 47-10.5.
The team title is the sixth straight for the Seminoles who join NC State (1983-88) and Maryland (1956-69) as the only three schools to accomplish the feat.

Walter Dix Sets Records In Last Day Of Seminole Twilight.
Both FSU 4x100m groups ran nation's second fastest time.
TALLAHASSEE, FL - Despite a weather delay that postponed competition for an hour, the Florida State track and field teams put on an exciting last home meet in the Seminole Twilight at the Mike Long Track. Former Seminole Walter Dix highlighted the day with a blistering 100m time of 9.98 that set a new FSU record and then continued to break records in the 200m as he ran a time of 19.89. Both of Dix's performances today rank second in the world.
"It was pretty good today," Dix said. "I came out and did what I wanted to do. I wanted to run a sub 10 in the 100 and a sub-20 in the 200. I didn't know the events were an hour back-to-back so I ran pretty good for the time. This is my home. I like running here because I can run in front of my family and my friends and they get the first taste of what's going on in my life as far as track and field so it's a blessing to be able to come here and run well. Most of the crowd is family, friends and teammates. It's my home crowd so it's a perfect atmosphere for me to start up in."
The Elite Section implemented in this meet for the first time was a success as several of the world's top athletes competed in front of Seminole fans. Throughout the thrilling day, fans were able to see new records broken and many of FSU's current athletes set some of the nation best performances.
"This was exciting," FSU head coach Bob Braman said. "More than anything else, hats off to (Assistant Coach) Ken Harnden. He's been saying for years that we needed to do this, this European model, a 90-minute program with as many stars as we can bring in. I was just amazed that Walter (Dix) could run that double (100m and 200m) in that short period of time where normally he gets much more recovery time. Obviously, we had the rain delay and it ended up clearing up but it's not ideal conditions, it was awfully thick out here, which certainly hurts the distance runners but it's not even good for the sprinters."
The women's 4x100m foursome of Candyce McGrone, Marecia Pemberton, Danielle Jeffrey and Teona Rodgers ran the nation's second fastest time this season with an impressive time of 43.13 to capture first place.
"The first two events, right out of the box, were awesome with the women's 4x100 with a 43.13," Braman said. "Last year we were second in the NCAA Meet with a 43.30 so now you start going head to head with Texas A&M who has the collegiate record so teams are going to have to pay attention to us a little bit."
The men's 4x100m quartet composed of David Ambler, Brandon Byram, Maurice Mitchell and Brian Chibudu also recorded a notable time of 39.06 to earn first place which is now tied as the second-fastest performance in the nation this season.
"In the men's 4x100, we lose our leader, Charles Clark, for the year," Braman said. "He's our anchor and we were the NCAA champion two years ago with him so we drop Brian Chibudu in there and run an outstanding 39.06 which should be in the top four in the country so we're right in there and that's really exciting."
Sprinters continued to control the track in both the 100m and 200m Elite Sections. While Dix posted an impressive time of 9.98 in the 100m, Mitchell quickly followed his lead with a second-place time of 10.28. The 200m again saw Dix governing the track with Byram quickly following as the first collegiate athlete to finish with a time of 20.40 which ranks second in the NCAA.
Kevin Borlee ran a season-best in the 400m Elite Section as the `Nole trumped the opposition with a time of 45.60 to take first place. His time ranks in the top 10 best performances in the NCAA this season.
On the women's front, Pemberton continued to lead the `Noles in the 100m Elite Section as the newcomer ran a time of 11.33 with Rodgers coming in second place with a time of 11.51. The 200m saw McGrone leading the pack with a first place time of 23.19.
Jumper Marlon Woods led the men in the long jump Elite Section as he leaped a mark of 7.69m to win first place.
Kim Williams earned her second title of the weekend as the `Nole took first place in the triple jump Elite Section with a mark of 13.51m.
Valerie Flournoy governed the track for the 100m hurdles as she earned first place with a season-best time of 13.62.
Gonzalo Barroilhet also recorded a season best in the 110m hurdles as he posted a time of 14.13 to take first place.
The women's 1500m Elite Section featured an array of Seminoles setting personal bests with Pilar McShine leading the way with a first place time of 4:14.20 that ranks fourth in the NCAA this season. Following her lead was Amanda Winslow in second place with a time of 4:19.29, while Pasca Cheruiyot came in third place with a time of 4:24.22.
Mid-distance runner Wes Rickman took third place in the 1500m with a time of 3:55.86.
Thrower Caila Coleman dominated the hammer throw with a first-place toss of 49.10m, while Trevor Andrews set a new personal record in the same event with a mark of 49.21m.
Michael Putman also joined the list of Seminoles directing the field as the sophomore won first place in the shot put Elite Section with a toss of 18.37m.
Sister duo Callie Giffin and Lauren Giffin had good showings in the pole vault as they took second and third place, respectively, with a mark of 3.67m.
"It's about racing hard and competing really hard and we had a lot of that today," Braman said. "We beat good people, had good marks and competed well."

FSU Qualifies 11 In Last Day Of Regionals.
A total of 18 Seminoles will compete at the final site of the NCAA's.
GREENSBORO, NC - The Florida State track and field teams closed out the last day of the NCAA East Regional Championships on a high note as 11 Seminoles earned qualifying marks to earn a spot at the final site in Eugene, Oregon. FSU advanced a total of 18 athletes throughout the weekend for the 2010 NCAA Outdoor Championships beginning June 9-12.
"The last two days have been incredible," FSU head coach Bob Braman said. "We took advantage of every point we could get. We really had a great meet. The first day we had a couple of people compete really well and had a few not make it, but really we had almost everyone we could get through and a few extras. The kids who got through weren't in seventh or eighth place, but they were automatic qualifiers who finished in first, second or third. We overcame an unbelievably bad lane draw in the 4x100m and ran the second-fastest time in the meet. Then you have Kim jump over 14 feet which not a lot of people have done in the history of the meet. I just couldn't be any happier right now."
Highlighting the day for the women was Kim Williams in the triple jump. The Seminole dominated the event as she shattered her previous season-best mark with a leap of 14.03m to win first place. The impressive jump is noted as the worlds' 10th best performance this year.
Both the men's and women's 4x100m relay squads earned qualifying spots in the first round of the event to advance to the final site.
The men's quartet of David Ambler, Brandon Byram, Maurice Mitchell and Brian Chibudu posted a time of 39.33 to take third place.
After a lineup change that incorporated long jumper Amy Harris as the third leg, the women's foursome of Candyce McGrone, Marecia Pemberton and Teona Rodgers clocked in a time of 44.04 to finish in fourth place.
Mitchell continued his wave of success as the 'Nole sped through the 200m quarterfinals in a personal record time of 20.24 that won first place. The performance is the world's seventh best time this season. As the only Seminole that will compete in three events, Mitchell is slated to battle in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m at the final site.
Byram followed Mitchell's lead as he also posted a personal record in the 200m with a time of 20.40 that earned third place and qualified him for the final site.
Breaking her personal best in the 200m was McGrone as the 'Nole governed the track with a time of 22.84 that captured first place, while Rodgers finished in third place with a time of 23.08. McGrone's time is noted as the world's 12th best performance this season.
Michael Putman punched his second ticket to nationals as he threw a mark of 53.70m in the discus to finish in ninth place. Putman will now compete in both the shot put and the discus in Eugene.
Mid-distance runners Pilar McShine and David Forrester will battle at the final site as both Seminoles earned qualifying marks in the 1500m. McShine had a good showing with a time of 4:18.19 to earn second place, while Forrester came in 13th place with a time of 3:51.70.
Despite being delayed a day due to weather conditions Friday night, Jennifer Dunn ran a notable time of 10:31.74 in the 3000m steeplechase Saturday morning to finish in the top 10 and qualify for the final site.

FSU's Williams finishes fourth in the triple jump.
By Corey Clark, nolesports.com editor
The Florida State women scored five points at the NCAA Track and Field Championships on Thursday night in Eugene, Ore.
It was five less than they were expecting.
Kim Williams, the defending national champion and one of the top triple jumpers in college history, finished a disappointing fourth with a distance of 44 feet, 6 3/4 inches - more than a foot behind first-place finisher Patricia Mamona of Clemson.
Williams beat Mamona at the NCAA Indoors to win a national title and also at the ACC Championships in April and the NCAA Regionals two weeks ago.
But on Thursday evening, it was the Clemson star that had the best jump of the event - defeating the four-time national champion with a distance of 45 feet, 11 3/4 inches.
Williams' finish wasn't the only upset Thursday for the FSU track program. Maurice Mitchell, one of the favorites coming into the meet, failed to qualify in the 200-meter dash - one day after failing to do so in the 100 as well.
Mitchell had the second-fastest 200 time in the nation heading into Eugene.
. Teammate Brandon Byram did qualify for the finals with a time of 20.86 - good enough for the eighth and final spot.
Jennifer Dunn qualified in the 3,000 steeplechase and Pilar McShine was perhaps the highlight of the day for the Seminoles. The senior won her heat in the 1,500 to easily qialify for the finals Saturday.
FSU's Borlle finishes 7th at NCAA's.
Democrat staff report
It was a quiet day for the Florida State track and field program on Friday at the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore.
Because of disappointing results in the preliminary rounds, only one sprinter advanced to Friday's final events.
Kevin Borlle, whose twin brother Jonathan won the 400-meter national championship a season ago, finished seventh in the same event on Friday night. It was the second time in as many years that Kevin Borlee was able to score points for the Seminoles in the event - he finished fourth last year.
The only other Seminole to compete on Friday was Andrew Bachelor in the high jump. He failed to advance to the final round.
The meet concludes
today.
FSU men rally for a top-10 finish at NCAA's
By Jim Lamar, Democrat sports editor
It wasn't the spot they wanted - or are used to grabbing - but the athletes and coaches in the Florida State men's track anf field program weren't exactly complaining Saturday afternoon.
After struggling during the first three days at the NCAA outdoor championships, the Seminoles rallied for a sixth consecutive top-10 finish - and further cemented the program as a national power in the sprints (and jumps) events.
The men's 4x100 relay team placed second - losing to rival Florida by .03 of a second - and then junior Brandon Byram placed third in the 200 with a time of 20.54 seconds (into a headwind that measured 3.7 miles per hour). Junior Brian Chibudu added a sixth-place finish in the long jump (25 feet, 4 1/2 inches) to give FSU 17 points on the final day.
The Seminoles finished with 22 total points, leaving them in eighth place overall. Texas A&M won both men's and women's titles, knocking off FLorida by a single point on the men's side and beating Oregon by 15 points on the women's side. Florida placed third in the women's competition.
"We had a great day," FSU head coach Bob Braman said. "The guys have really stepped up. It was a really nice rally."
The women's team placed 20th and scored its only points Saturday when senior distance runner Pilar McShine placed fifth in the 1,500 (4:16.72).
Byram had perhaps the race of the day for FSU, placing third from Lane 1 - typically the least desirable start position in the 200.
"Most people don't understand how tough that is out of lane 1," FSU sprints coach Ken Handen said, "Brandon has the heart of a lion."
The meet marked the first time in five years the Seminoles weren't chasing a team title on the final day. Injuries (top sprinter Charles Clark and top jumper Ngoni Makusha both redshirted this outdoor season) wrecked FSU's chances. But Harnden said the Seminoles cna be happy with pulling out another top-10 finish.
"This is the first step for next year." Harnden said.
