The Florida State outdoor track and field teams will compete at the 2024 ACC Outdoor Track and Field Championships from May 9-11 in Atlanta, hosted by Georgia Tech at the George C. Griffin Track.
The women’s team holds 14 times and marks that are seeded within the top eight, led by sophomore Dajaz DeFrand, who is seeded first in the 100-meter (10.88) and 200 (22.58) and will look to defend her titles in both races from 2023. She was also the meet MVP in 2023 and ACC Freshman of the Year.

The Noles have added to the record books, boasting 12 FSU all-time performances throughout the season.

“I’m really pleased with how both teams have been excited to chase those titles since the indoor season,” said FSU track and field head coach Bob Braman. “The women are a top 15 nationally ranked team, but the men are deep as well. Their challenge is to maximize the points those stars can earn.”

The FSU men’s team enters the meet with 12 top eight seeds and eight all-time performances this season. The 4x100 relay team behind Neo Moesbi, Ismael Kone, Tyler Azcano and Keshaun Black hold the top seed. Jordan turner is the favorite to take home gold in the long jump.

“The men’s squad is getting healthy at the right time,” added Braman. “If we can compete up to our talent level then we’ll have a chance to win. I can tell you we remember vividly losing by one point at the last ACC Championships.”

The Seminoles finished second in 2023 (91 points) behind Clemson (92 points) after taking home the titles in 2022 and 2021.

The meet will start Thursday at 1 p.m. with the men’s hammer throw. Expanded coverage will air through the ACC Network Extra and can be accessed at Seminoles.com. Flash Results will be available.
