A world-class international athlete, Don Merrick came to Florida State from Seminole Community College. The national community college champion in the 100 and 220 yard dash, Merrick also ran with the
United States team that toured China. While at Florida State he broke a world record in the 60 yard dash, set FSU's record for the 100 meter dash at 10.0, co-held the school record for the 100 yard
dash at 9.3. He also ran on the record-setting 4X100-meter relay team and won the 100-meter championship, amazing achievements in just two years with the Tribe. Don Merrick will go down as one of the
greatest sprinters in Florida State history.
