Biography

Matt Kane enters his second year as the Director of Cross Country/Track and Field for the 2025-26 season after serving as the women's associate head coach for the Noles from 2020-2024. During his first year under the helm, the Noles made three National Championship appearances, with two top-five finishes at the Indoor and Outdoor ACC Conference Championships, earning a total of nine ACC gold medals, including a combined total of 19 first-team All-ACC members. Kane concluded the 2025 slate with six first-team All-Americans and 45 total moves on the FSU all-time top 10 list. Kane also led Kaelyaah Liburd (British Virgin Islands) and Joella Llyod (Antigua and Barbuda). Shenese Walker had one of the most memorable seasons under Kane, after being crowned the ACC 60-meter champion for two consecutive seasons before being named a first-team All-American in the event. At the ACC Outdoor Championship, Walker completed the sweep for the triple crown in the 100, 200, and 4x100-meter (meet record) to be named the Women's MVP for her efforts. Walker was also the 32nd Jamaican woman to break 11 seconds in all conditions. At the East preliminary round, Walker helped the Seminoles to an ACC record performance at 42.72 in the 4x100 relay. She concluded her season at the outdoor national championship to secure two more All-American honors in the 4x100 relay and 100. Under the direction of Kane for the 2024 season, his group won seven ACC medals at the ACC Outdoor Championship, led by Dajaz DeF
