July 12, 2012

When Seminole fans think back on the 2011-12 athletic year there are so many iconic images that come to mind. Some will remember the Seminoles' comeback win over Notre Dame in the Champs Sports Bowl or the volleyball team's historic run to the Final Four. For others it will be the men's basketball team cutting down the nets following the school's first ever ACC Championship or soccer's penalty kick victory to secure the first ACC title for FSU in the nation's most dominant women's soccer league. There will be those that remember a young FSU baseball team fighting its way to its best showing in Omaha in a decade. Others will look back on a new program making a run at a national championship in its inaugural season on the sand volleyball courts and a storied men's golf program doing the same on the links.

 

Those are just a few of the stories that gained headlines in 2011-12, but there were so many others that helped define the athletic year at Florida State. There was another top five finish in the Learfield Sports Director's Cup. The Seminole athletics program has now recorded top 10 finishes for three straight years, with two of those three finishes coming in the top five; an amazing feat considering in 2009 the program had never posted a top 10 finish in the history of the prestigious rankings. Florida State was also one of only two athletic programs in the nation to see its football, baseball and men's basketball teams finished the year ranked in the Top 25 in the AP poll for each sport.

 

The Seminole cross country programs encapsulated the success FSU student-athletes earned athletically and academically in 2011-12. The men's and women's teams not only swept the NCAA Regionals but they also swept the ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors. Overall, Florida State had the top scholar athlete in six sports this past year. Five was an important number as it was also the number of ACC Coach of the Year honors FSU received, the record-tying number of ACC team titles the Seminoles won and the number of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans the school produced.

 

Success on the field and inside the classroom have become hallmarks of Florida State athletics programs and upholding that tradition was taken seriously by the group of student-athletes who represented the Garnet and Gold in 2011-12. There were more than 50 All-American honors earned by Seminole student-athletes this past year, a number that was surpassed by the amount of athletes selected to All-ACC Academic Teams. This body of student-athletes once again met the challenge of winning on and off the field. None exhibited that better than senior baseball player James Ramsey who led his team to the College World Series, won ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors, shared National Player of the Year honors and was named the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award winner. Or Amanda Saxton, who won the NCAA Elite 89 Award for having the highest GPA of any student-athlete at the NCAA Volleyball Final Four. The same can be said about basketball player Bernard James, who was awarded the USBWA Most Courageous Award and the Bob Bradley Spirit and Courage Award.

 

Across the board, success and consistency has defined Florida State athletics over the years, but specifically over the past three seasons. In 2011-12, 18 of FSU's 19 NCAA sanctioned sports advanced to NCAA postseason competition. Over the last three years Florida State's athletic teams and programs have made NCAA Tournament or postseason play 56 times in 57 opportunities. That level of program-wide excellence is a continuing tribute to the coaches and student-athletes that come to Tallahassee committed to making Florida State one of the premier athletic programs in the nation.

The tone for that success was set early on with both volleyball and soccer finding ways to accomplish milestones that have never been met in FSU history despite their traditions of success. Both programs were one of just four teams still playing at the end of their fall seasons as soccer played in its fifth College Cup and volleyball made its first-ever Final Four. FSU football continued its postseason run of success playing in a bowl game for the 30^th consecutive year and winning the school's 25^th bowl game. The women's cross country team joined soccer and volleyball, finishing fourth at the NCAA Championship meet. The men finished 12^th, which served as the launching point for a second consecutive National Program of the Year award.

 

Although it may not have felt like much in the state of Florida, when the NCAA sports calendar flipped to winter FSU athletes and teams continued to stay hot. The biggest story of the winter was the Seminole men's basketball team which defeated both Duke and North Carolina twice, including a win over each at the ACC Tournament, to become the first team outside of the state of North Carolina to capture the ACC Crown since 2004. The FSU men's swimming and diving team finished their NCAA postseason run with a "Sweet 16" finish while Katrina Young earned All-America honors with a fourth-place finish on the platform for the women. Cierra Bravard and Natasha Howard both captured honors as well for the women's basketball team. Howard and Bravard were named All-ACC, the third such honor for Bravard in her Seminole career.

 

The bridge in success from winter to spring started with both of FSU's tennis programs, which continued to earn their way into NCAA postseason play. The men's squad advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the seventh time in eight seasons while the women played in the NCAA Tournament for the sixth straight year. The newest addition to the Seminole sports landscape was sand volleyball and the team wasted little time joining in on the postseason success shared by the rest of the Seminole athletic programs. The sand volleyball team equaled their indoor counterparts with an appearance in the national semifinals and a third-place finish.

 

The postseason success established over the last three years and continued in the fall and winter was built upon by each and every team in the spring. Both FSU golf squads made the NCAA Tournament with the men's team coming a playoff away from participating in the championship round and Marina Salinas advancing to the finals of the NCAA Championship. Seminole softball continued a legacy of postseason play with a 13^th consecutive NCAA Tournament selection.

 

As all Seminoles have come to expect in the spring, the men's track and field team was once again in the thick of the hunt for a National Championship, finishing fourth while the women's squad posted a seventh consecutive top 20 spot with a 14^th place finish. The Seminole baseball team wrapped up the one of the most successful years in department history with an undefeated run through NCAA Regionals and Super Regionals and a national semifinal appearance at Omaha in the College World Series.

 

With a fifth place finish in the Director's Cup in hand, an unprecedented three-year run of postseason appearances, three teams making it to the Final Four in their respective sports and a record-tying five ACC team titles, the 2011-12 athletic year will take its place among the best ever at Florida State University.
