Wanda Burns was a highly-touted guard from Macon, Georgia when new FSU head coach Marynell Meadors signed her at Florida State in 1987. Though she carried a 3.0 GPA in high school, she had to sit out her freshman season by NCAA rule. Burns used the year to hit the books and get acclimated to campus life. She took the court in 1988-89 with something to prove. She averaged 11 points per game and led the team with 92 assists, helping FSU to its first winning season since 1983. She electrified the team as a junior in 1989-90 setting an FSU record for free throw percentage and leading the team in scoring, three pointers and steals. She sparked FSU to a 21-9 record and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. In 1990-91, her final season, Burns led the Metro Conference in scoring with an average of 18.5 points per game on her way to being named the 1991 Metro Conference Player of the Year. She set an FSU single game record with 10 steals in a game, led the team in three-point shooting and scored in double figures in 38 consecutive games. Her exceptional play led FSU to one of its most successful seasons with a record of 25-7. She was also named MVP of the Metro Conference Tournament and earned Hanes Her Way NCAA Woman of the Year and Third-Team All-American honors from the American Women's Sports Federation. Burns still ranks among FSU's top 10 in four career and 11 single-season statistical categories. |
