<strong>About Walter</strong><br />
As a professional, Dix has emerged as the most consistent U.S. sprinter in the last two years, winning three outdoor national titles and two World Outdoor medals to go along with his two Olympic bronze medals from 2008. Competing for Florida State, Dix is just the second athlete ever to win the NCAA 200m outdoor championship three times. In 2007 he was also the first sprinter to win the 100m, 200m and 4x100m at the NCAA Outdoor Championships since 1969. He was the top high school sprinter in the nation for the 2004 season, running Olympic standard times in the 100m and 200m. His father, a former sprinter, is an assistant principal and track coach while his mother is a high school teacher. He has two older brothers, Alex and William, who also were track runners. While attending Florida State University, Dix became a member of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity.
