EUGENE, Ore. - A week after Florida State sprinter Walter Dix punched his ticket for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, he has a chance to qualify in another event and four of his current and former teammates have a chance to join him in China next month. Five Seminoles will be in action on Sunday's final day of the United State Track and Field Olympic Trials.

Television coverage of Sunday's action is from 7-9 p.m. (EST) on NBC. In order advance to the Olympics, a competitor must make the finals of their event and finish in the top three amongst competitors with the "A" standard. Dix (Coral Springs, Fla.) is one of the favorites to advance in the finals of the 200m dash.
