The No.17/ NR Florida State outdoor track and field teams were led by Jeremiah Davis and Jordan Turner on the second day of the ACC Outdoor Track and Field Championship at the George C. Griffin Track in Atlanta.

“The highlight of the day was the 1-2-4 finish in the men’s long jump,” said FSU track and field head coach Bob Braman. “All three had jumps that would nationally qualify at (NCAA) Regions in two weeks, so that group is in fantastic position.”

Alexandra Webster will be the second seed in the 100 hurdles, qualifying with a time of 13.16.
“Women’s sprints dominated the 100 prelims with a huge lifetime best for Liana and Kaniya,” said Braman. “Alexandra had a really easy heat win the 100 hurdles.”
