Keeping up to speed: More fight nights are on tap for the West Sacramento stadium.
Byline: John Schumacher
Jun. 4--Bob Braman doesn't have a male thrower, jumper or vaulter coming to Sacramento. And his only men's athlete who runs around the track more than once is steeplechaser Andrew Lemoncello.
So why does the Florida State track coach sound so upbeat about his team's chances this week at Hornet Stadium?
Start with the sprints. And, except for Lemoncello, end with them.
If the Seminoles are to claim a second consecutive men's team title in the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships beginning Wednesday, they'll do it on the backs of their speedsters.
Walter Dix arrives as the meet headliner. He set a collegiate record in the 200 meters nine days ago, his 19.69-second performance breaking the mark of 19.75 set by Houston's Joe DeLoach in 1988 and becoming the seventh-fastest time in history.
Dix also co-owns the fastest collegiate time in the country in the 100, his 10.05 matched by Clemson's Travis Padgett. Florida State's Ricardo Chambers is the national collegiate leader in the 400 (44.62).
