Bradley Cooper, Florida State's greatest field event performer, came to Tallahassee from the Bahamas. In 1978, his junior year, he won All-American honors when he finished fourth in the NCAA discus
with a throw of 189'. The mark was an FSU school record and a Bahamian national record. In his senior year Brad won the NCAA championship in the discus. His throw of 212'6" broke the NCAA record,
making Brad Florida State's first NCAA record holder in track and field. His mark stood for four years. Cooper is also FSU's second best all-time shot putter with a toss of 60'2". Co-captain of the
'79 squad, Cooper returned after graduation to help coach Seminole weight men. He currently serves as Minister of Recreation for the Bahamas and remains a world class discus thrower and a Bahamian
Olympian. The soaring discus throws of this splendid giant brought great honor and distinction to the Garnet and Gold.
