🏃 Rookie Sensation: Andre Korbmacher's Record-Breaking Debut

Florida State University's track and field scene witnessed a thrilling start to the season, thanks to freshman hurdler Andre Korbmacher.

At the Jimmy Carnes Invitational, Korbmacher, a Bellingham native, shattered expectations and records alike.

His preliminary performance in the 60m hurdles set a new facility record, only to surpass it in the finals with an even more impressive time.

Korbmacher's final time not only placed him at the forefront of the ACC but also etched his name in FSU's storied history, ranking him seventh all-time.

This feat, tied for third-fastest nationally this season, speaks volumes about his potential.

Hurdles Coach Matt Kane's commendation of Andre's swift adaptation and work ethic suggests this is just the beginning for the rookie, with much more anticipated as the season unfolds.

🏃‍♀️ Milestone Achievement: Suus Altorf's Record-Setting Run

Suus Altorf, representing FSU's Women's Track and Field, made a spectacular showing at the Jimmy Carnes Invitational.

Originating from Hillegom, Netherlands, Altorf dominated the one-mile run, breezing past competitors with a remarkable finish.

Her time not only set a new facility record but also ranks as the second-fastest in the ACC this season.

Sprints Coach Matt Kane praised Altorf's performance, highlighting her excellent solo run and her ability to challenge herself in new events.

This achievement signals a promising season ahead for Altorf and the FSU team.

🎾 Seminoles Triumph in Thrilling Home Opener

The FSU Women's Tennis Team kicked off their 2024 season with a nail-biting 4-3 victory against Old Dominion.

The match, held at the FSU Indoor Tennis Facility, showcased the Seminoles' resilience and skill.

Despite a challenging start in the doubles, FSU bounced back in the singles matches, with standout performances from senior Ellie Schoppe and freshman Laura Putz.

The highlight of the event was Kristyna Lavickova clinching the win in a tense final singles match.

Head Coach Jennifer Hyde praised the team's response and spirit, especially acknowledging Lavickova's significant comeback after a hiatus.

Next up, FSU faces SMU at the ITA Kickoff in Austin, Texas.

🏈 FSU Lands Top Prospect: Javion Hilson

Florida State University's football team celebrates a significant recruiting victory with Javion Hilson, a highly touted pass rusher from Cocoa, Florida, joining the class.

Hilson, originally committed to Alabama, decided to join the Seminoles, enhancing FSU's early 2025 recruiting class.

Rated as the nation's No. 4 edge and No. 46 prospect overall by 247Sports, Hilson's high school career boasts impressive stats, including 94 tackles, 27 for loss, 14 sacks, and three forced fumbles.

Hilson's commitment is a testament to FSU's appealing program, as he chose the Seminoles over other prominent universities.

His coach, Ryan Schneider, praises his exceptional work ethic and drive, which are matched by his athletic prowess.

Hilson is not just a pass rusher but also excels in run defense, demonstrating versatility and commitment.

His ability to impact the game both in practice and on Fridays is noted by Schneider, who remarks on Hilson's consistent pressure on quarterbacks.

Andrew Ivins, 247Sports Director of Scouting, notes Hilson's intriguing edge potential, athleticism, and long-term growth potential.

Ivins views him as a strong run defender with promising versatility and the ability to make a significant impact at the high-major level, even suggesting NFL Draft potential.

Hilson's blend of physical traits, athleticism, and work ethic align perfectly with what Coach Norvell and the FSU staff look for in a prospect, making his commitment a significant gain for the Seminoles' future.

Norvell also visited Leesburg to scout Ousmane Kromah, a four-star running back with impressive dual-sport capabilities.
