Oduong leads the sprints group as he will compete in the 400m dash following his first conference title in the event. The Bismarck, N.D., product has a top time of 47.44 (also an MSUM school record), which he set at the UND Open on January 26. The time is currently the eighth-fastest in all of Division II in 2023-24. 

Finally, Kemp will compete in both long jump and triple jump after another stirring season for MSUM. Kemp has a top long jump of 24-11.75 (7.61m), which is an indoor personal best and earned him All-NSIC distinction. The mark is also the third-best long jump in Division II this year.
