Nothing against Norfolk State, Marlon Woods said, but the six-time MEAC high jump champion feels he's topped out there. So Woods, a Booker T. Washington graduate, is making another jump - transferring to Florida State. "I feel there wasn't a lot more for me to accomplish in the conference or at the school, other than to graduate," he said. Woods, who has a year of eligibility remaining, plans to graduate from Florida State, where he'll enroll in January and compete in the indoor and outdoor seasons. He's taking classes at NSU through this semester and should complete his degree in sociology next December, he said.The move, he admits, is more about athletics. Woods was disappointed in his 2009 outdoor season. Though he was named Most Outstanding Performer at the MEAC championships, he failed to qualify for the NCAA championships in the high jump, clearing just 6-10-1/4 at the East Regional. He has jumped as high as 7-2-3/4, and qualified for the NCAAs as a sophomore. Woods also failed to qualify in the long jump, after earning All-American honors during the indoor season.
