Is it too soon to call FSU T&F a dynasty????

Yes it is.

Seriously?

Are the Cleveland Cavs now considered to be a basketball dynasty?

I'm surprised FSU can even do well at all, since the environment is so oppressive. High heat, high humidity, low altitude.

Even if you're a sprinter, training in the heat and humidity day after day sucks. How do you get the motivation to go out and run?

So no other school can afford to give its track athletes as many scholarships as FSU?

Right. None of the SEC sprinters ever do very well and they all train in environments that are MUCH cooler. Also....anyone every check the weather in Arkansas? That's probably why those guys have never done very well in NCAA competition.

Ahhh, but the Cav's have not won two in row now have they...?

I will say that it is a tough environment for distance runners during the day but the afternoon thunderstorms cool everything off nicely for an evening 10 miler. Plus the national forest, sorority row and plenty of hills makes it something of a running Mecca of the South...

I'm still a little disappointed in Braman's penchant for recruiting Anglo's but he's got to start somewhere. It's easy recruiting also because those guys are itching to get into a warm weather locals whereas Americans are looking more at altitude and tradition...

FSU is THE DI program to develop hometown sprinters... Seriously amazing job by Braman and his Staff.

check out their new digs

He is coach of the year, no doubt about it. He excels wherever he goes.

The summer does suck with heat and humidity, but October through to to March(when the hard training is getting done) it's such a great place to train. Low elevation is a negative.

Zap fitness make yearly trips, as do fast Kenyans and other elites.

Many many great trails to run on.

FSU a dynasty? If Dix returns and they win another title I would say they are, they will be losing some good runners this year like Lemoncello and Lancashire among others. Maybe they'll good some good recruits in.

Good work Braman and FSU!

The women's program is fast improving, to 14th at ncaa also.

I Florida State did very well and the coaching was a big part of it. Very talented small group can do very well if they are prepared - FSU showed that. Thought LSU men's & women's combined looked strong. My lasting impression will be of men's 10k, 5k, 1500, and a great woman's 5k.
