GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
Sending just seven male athletes to the NCAA outdoor track championships in Sacramento, California, the Florida State Seminoles overcame the numbers challenge and repeated as champs behind a memorable effort from star sprinter Walter Dix.Dix won the 100, the 200 and the 4x100 relay to earn three titles. He is the first male athlete to win all three races since San Jose State's John Carlos in 1969. His 9.93 in the 100 was just a hundredth of a second of Ato Boldon's NCAA championship-best time of 9.92.
Dix must now decide between running another year for the Seminoles or turning pro and focusing on international and Olympic-level competition as one of America's best sprinters.
