Growing up an FSU fan, it made sense to Gavin Nix that his final official visit would be to FSU. The 4-star LB relished the chance to spend time with Mike Norvell, Randy Shannon and Ernie Sims on his official visit and now will decide between FSU, Miami and Oregon.

FSU sports information:

Former Florida State student-athlete Emma Terebo punched her ticket to the Olympic Games by winning two backstroke events at the 2024 French Elite Championships.

On June 17, Terebo set a new French national record in the 100-meter back, touching at 58.79 for gold, turning in the ninth-fastest time in the world this year.

Terebo added the 200 back to her Olympics list, winning with a time of 2:08.53. Her best time this year (2:08.45) ranks within the top 16 in the world this year. She also placed third in the 50 back (27.90).

Terebo swam under the Olympic qualification times in the 100 back (59.99) and 200 back (2:10.39), earning a bid to her first Olympics.

A member of the FSU women’s team from 2017-21, Terebo competed at three NCAA Championships. She holds three individual top 10 times in program history and led off the women’s 200 free relay to a program record (1:28.49) in 2017.

Terebo represented France at the 2022 and 2023 World Aquatics Championships, finishing fifth in the 100 back (59.98) and 12th in the 200 back (2:11.77) in 2022 in Budapest, Hungary.

With Peter Varjasi (Germany) and Terebo’s qualification to Paris, 27 athletes with ties to FSU swimming and diving have made the Olympics, representing 20 different countries. Terebo is the first FSU swimmer to represent France at the Games.

The Seminoles have been represented at every Games since 1996 and also contributed athletes in 1972, 1976, 1980 and 1988.

The Swimming portion of the Olympics will start on July 27 at the Paris La Defense Arena.
