The mayhem we manage today has roots in a Supreme Court ruling 40 years ago

FSU sports information:

Florida State Athletics Hall of Fame member Kimberly Williams qualified to represent Jamaica at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

Williams becomes the first female in FSU history to earn a fourth bid to the Olympics, after coming in 2012, 2016 and 2020. She is the third Seminole to compete at four Games after Jonathan Borlee and Kevin Borlee represented Belgium (2008, 2012, 2016, 2020).

Williams qualified for Paris after finishing fourth in the triple jump with a mark 13.67m at the Jamaica Olympic Trials, after originally earning the Olympic standard at the Indoor World Athletic Championship in Glasgow, Scotland in March.

Williams was inducted into the FSU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2021. During her time at FSU (2008-11), she won five individual NCAA titles, marking the most for any female in program history. Williams won 12 individual ACC gold medals over her career, which is the most for any Seminole.

As a rookie, Williams was named the ACC Indoor and Outdoor Freshman of the year in 2008. She swept the 2009 NCAA Outdoor Championship titles in the triple and long jump as a sophomore, and she also won three consecutive NCAA Indoor triple jump titles from 2009-11. Williams was named the USTFCCCA Women’s Outdoor Field Athlete of the Year in 2009.

She excelled in the classroom, earning ACC Scholar Athlete of the Year twice. Williams is a two-time College Sports Communicators Academic All-American and a three-time USTFCCCA All-Academic honoree. She was awarded the Weaver-James Corrigan ACC Postgraduate Scholarship following her senior year.

Williams is the 57th Seminole with ties to FSU track and field to compete in the Olympics. She is the fourth Seminole to represent Jamacia. FSU has had a representative in every Games since 1972.

In addition to Williams, Adriaan Wildschutt (South Africa) will be in action. The track and field events will run from August 1-11 at State De France.

Florida State earned a victory, and perhaps a significant one, in its case against the ACC.

FSU officials will receive an un-redacted copy of six ACC multimedia agreements — including those dating back to 2010 — as Judge John Cooper ordered them unsealed earlier this month as part of a joint motion petitioned by both legal teams. But under an “interim protective order,” the documents will only be provided to FSU administrators and lawyers for 60 days and not media or the public.

FSU sports information:

Junior outfielder James Tibbs III was named an Academic All-American by the College Sports Communicators, adding to his 2024 accolades. Tibbs is the first Seminole since James Ramsey in 2011 and 2012 to earn first-team Academic All-America honors.

Tibbs, from Marietta, Ga., was also named the ACC Player of the Year, the ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, a unanimous first-team All-American, earned a spot on the CSC Academic All-District Team and won the ACC’s Postgraduate Scholarship Award. Tibbs was on the ACC Championship All-Tournament Team and a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy and Golden Spikes Award.

In the classroom, Tibbs graduated in May with a degree in political science and had a 3.53 GPA during his time at FSU. He was on the 2023 and 2024 All-ACC Academic Team and the ACC Academic Honor Roll all three years.

On the field, Tibbs led Florida State with 28 home runs, 95 RBI, a .777 slugging percentage and 58 walks. Tibbs 28 home runs are fifth in a season at FSU and the most since Marshall McDougall also had 28 in 1999. His 95 RBI are seventh in a season at FSU.

Tibbs helped lead the Seminoles back to the College World Series for the 24th time in program history and first since 2019 with a 5-for-6 game against Connecticut in the Super Regional, including three home runs. Tibbs matched his career high with six RBI in the Noles 10-8 win, with three two-run home runs that all either tied the game or gave FSU the lead, including the game-winner in the top of the 12th inning. It was FSU’s first three-home run game for a player since 2010.

Mike Norvell is one of six ACC coaches on the preseason watch list for the Dodd Trophy, which factors in on- and off-field success:

We spoke with Currence at the Rivals Five-Star and he has some good things to say about his relationship with FSU since they offered him last year.
