A successful collegiate career was only the beginning of Terry Long's legacy. Long joined the Seminoles as a student-athlete and lettered for the Tribe for three seasons. During his career, Terry set new school records in the 200 low hurdles and 120 high hurdles as well as running on the record setting 4x100, 4x200 and sprint medley relay teams.

After completing his degree in 1963, Terry spent four years as a high school coach in Delray Beach and Lakeland then 16 years building his reputation as one of the nation's finest coaches at the junior college level.

In 1985, Long returned to his roots and rejoined the Seminoles as the head women's coach and coordinator for the cross country team. In 1988, Long became the coach of both the men's and the women's teams where he led the Seminoles for 15 seasons. Terry continued a strong tradition of track success with 82 individuals earning All-America honors. His athletes set over 30 new school records and won 10 conference championships while he was named conference or region coach of the year 14 times. Long produced 272 all-conference athletes, nine Olympians and most impressive, 325 graduates.
