Walter McCoy came to Florida State in 1978 from Daytona Beach and stayed to fill the record book. In his freshman year Walter was NCAA 600-yard champion indoors. Before his career ended in 1981 McCoy
had made All-American on twelve different occasions (indoors and outdoors) and had anchored FSU's NCAA championship mile relay team in 1980. He captained the Seminoles, set 400-meter records for the
university and the Metro Conference. In both 1980 and 1984, Walter was a member of the U.S. Olympic Team, winning the gold medal in the 4x100 relay in '84. He remains in 1986 what he always been both
on and off the track - world class.
