The track and field program had yet another outstanding year highlighted by standout sprinter Walter Dix who concluded his stellar collegiate career by winning an individual national championship in the 200m--the eighth individual national championship of his career. Dix went on to win the bronze medal in the Olympic 100M dash. The team's future talent shone brightly as well with freshman Ngoni Makusha contributing a national championship in the long jump and Kim Williams earning the 2008 ACC Track and Field Freshman of the Year honor. Distance runner Hannah England won her first national championship and recorded the fastest time in NCAA meet history in the 1500m. She led the women's team to a second place finish at both the indoor and outdoor ACC Championships. The men also recorded their sixth consecutive ACC indoor title and fourth consecutive outdoor title. All told, the Seminole track and field team touted seven individual national champions, five individual regional champions and a regional champion relay team this season.^[2]

On June 19, 2008, Bob Braman agreed to a three-year contract to remain the head coach of the Seminole Track and Field and Cross Country programs. Braman, who was hired as FSU's Cross Country Coach and an Assistant Track Coach in 2000, took over the reigns of the Track and Field program in 2004 and has led the Seminoles to three straight NCAA Men's Outdoor National Championship titles. ^[3]
