What the sheet also says

  • The sheet isn't labeled with a season; it was posted to seminoles.com in September 2026.

Getting recruited by Florida State

  1. 1
    Fill out the questionnaire

    Most programs collect prospects through a recruiting questionnaire on their official site. Look for it on Florida State's track and field pages, along with the coaching staff's contact details.

  2. 2
    Email your event coach

    Keep it short. Give your events, your FAT marks with wind readings and meet dates, links to your results, your graduation year, GPA and test scores, and the meets you're running next.

  3. 3
    Be honest about where you are

    Compare your wind-legal FAT marks to the tier you're aiming for. If you're close but haven't hit it, say so and show how your last few races have trended.

  4. 4
    Follow up when you PR

    A new mark is the best reason to write again. Coaches build their recruiting boards over months, so send a time that crosses one of their lines as soon as you run it.
