The Florida State outdoor track and field teams will host the 50th FSU Relays at the Mike Long Track on Thursday, March 21 and Friday March 22. The first event for the Noles is slated with the men’s hammer on Thursday at 3.p.m.

“FSU Relays is always the traditional kickoff to our outdoor track and field season, and it’s our first test of the newly renovated Mike Long Track and Field facility,” FSU track and field coach Bob Braman said. “We hope to achieve some NCAA Regional and ACC qualifying marks right out of the gate. Our 4x100 and 4x400 relays will be events to watch for sure.”

Teams slated to compete this weekend include Florida, Auburn, Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Marshall and FAMU.

“We’re excited to host the 50th addition of the FSU relays this weekend,” Braman said. There have been many Olympians who’ve competed at the relays, along with some of the greatest teams in track and field history. Our 1983 women’s team and our 2008 men’s teams are a couple of the NCAAs all-time greats.”

On Friday, a group of alumni including standouts Trey Cunnigham, Kim Jones, among others will be recognized at 2:40 p.m. The Noles will also recognize 18 seniors at 4:30 pm.

“We’re also excited to welcome back a large group of alums,” added Braman. “We will have several presentations on Friday afternoon, that include recognizing the alumni, graduating seniors and some special presentations regarding our former coaches and our True Seminole cross country winners.”

Admission is free to the public, with parking available in the Spirit Way parking garage.
