Florida State Hall of Fame track star Ricardo Chambers was highly recruited as one of the nation's top high school prospects out of Dwyer High School in Palm Beach, Fla, although born in Trelawny
Parish in Jamaica. Chambers wasted no time in proving he would be one of FSU's all-time greats earning All-ACC honors both indoors and outdoors as a freshman in 2005. In addition, he won his first two ACC Championships as a member of the Seminoles' conference champion indoor and outdoor 4x400 relay teams. He also won both the indoor and outdoor 400 meters and finished fifth nationally at the NCAA indoors and fourth in the outdoors. As a sophomore in 2006, Chambers was named Most Valuable Performer at the ACC indoor championships after winning the 400 meters and breaking a 14-year-old conference record in the process as well as the 200 meters. He also won the outdoor 400 meter conference championship and earned All-America honors after finishing second at the NCAA finals. Chambers was the NCAA National Champion in both the indoor and outdoor 400 meters in his final season setting the FSU record in both the indoor (45.64) and outdoor (44.62) 400 meters in 2007. Remarkably, his times in those events are still the best in school history 16 years later. Earlier that season, he won the 400 meter ACC Championship both indoor and outdoors. All told Chambers
was a six-time All-American and nine-time ACC champion over his storied career before going pro following his junior year. He went on to compete for Jamaica in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China. |
