The No. 19/NR Florida State outdoor track and field teams will have 31 entries in the NCAA East Preliminaries at the Outdoor Track and Field Facility in Lexington, Ky., May 22-25.

The meet will be available on ESPN+ and live timing will be provided through Seminoles.com.

“We had a really strong ACCs and hope to carry that momentum into the NCAA first round,” said FSU track and field head coach Bob Braman. “I feel like our athletes respond well to pressure, so I’m excited to get things started on Wednesday.”

The men’s team will compete in four quarterfinal races on Wednesday and two semifinals. The long jump, which will feature Jeremiah Davis, Jordan Turner and Curtis Williams, will start at 6 p.m. before Kidus Misgina and Cooper Schroeder compete in the 10,000 meters starting at 9:10 p.m.

Seminoles that advance to semifinals will take place on Friday, in addition to semifinals of the 4x100 relay, triple jump and 5,000.

The women’s prelim heats will start on Thursday in addition to the long jump semifinal for Skyler Reynolds and Tori Caroll.

Semifinals will conclude on Saturday. The Seminoles will compete in at least three races, starting at 5 p.m. with the 4x100 relay. Agnes McTighe will compete in the 5,000m, followed by the 4x400.

The top 12 student-athletes in each event will advance to finals on June 5-8 in Eugene, Oregon.

“We have a big group qualified but more importantly we have many with a good shot at Top 12 and advancement to the final round in Eugene,” Braman added.

The 19th-ranked women’s team enters the first round led by sophomore Dajaz DeFrand who was named the Most Valuable Performer of the ACC Outdoor Championship for the second time in her career, bringing home titles in the 100 (11.04) and 200 (22.48). DeFrand also ran the third leg of the 4x100 relay team that finished second with a time of 43.68.

The FSU men’s team will be highlighted by senior Jeremiah Davis, who repeated as the Men’s Field MVP after scoring 20 points behind two wins. Davis defended his title in the long jump with a mark of 26-1 ¾ before winning gold in the triple jump with a mark of 54-10 that claimed FSU’s first win in the event since 2018.
