The fastest 800m runner in school history is back for his final campaign. Tanner, a three-time All-American in track & field will look to better his own school record and be a force at the conference and national level.

As Division II jumps continue to be at an all-time high, James continually puts himself into the mix as a returning two-time All-American, setting a new lifetime personal best of 25-10.25 (7.88m). He looks to better his national finishes while also defending his NSIC title from last season.

Our men's team has put in a good fall of training and I am looking forward to seeing what we can do.

Andrew has improved every year and enters this season healthy and motivated to do some big things. He possessed the tools to be successful and he is coming off a tremendous season. I am exciting to see him accomplish some great things this year.

Jonathan has improved each season and he is ready for a breakout season this year. He has a big upside and has put in the work to be successful.

The men's team did graduate some major contributors from last year's indoor roster, but the energy is high this fall with a number of returners that realize it is their time to shine. The freshmen and transfers are well-equipped to step in and provide depth and high-impact performances in certain areas.

Thomas leads a talented group of CSP male sprinters. Thomas has shown much resiliency and maturity in working through injury in previous seasons. Even while losing some time to injury, Thomas has been on the conference podium multiple times throughout his career and we think he is ready for the next step.

Calder is the returning runner-up from last year's NSIC Indoor Heptathlon. He has very high expectations for himself and as a combined event athlete and graduate student, he has a very high workload. But he is a great example for his teammates and leads day in and day out by showing how to manage the demands of being a collegiate student-athlete.

The men's team is now in a position to push themselves higher in the conference standings compared to the last three years. They have an opportunity to be a special group together.

Raheem had a stellar finish to his freshman year and is looking stronger going into year two.

Malakhi surprised a lot of people last year and looks to continue that trend of progression in the multi-events.

We return almost every single point from one of the most successful outdoor and cross country championships in the last 10 years in 2023. This group will be that much more experienced in 2024 with some promising newcomers that will help add some depth to sprints/long sprints and middle distance.

Owen was the conference runner- up in the 1000M last year and a key contributor to the DMR. Owen is coming off the best cross country season of his career so far and has the ability to be a major points contributor during his senior season in a middle distance heavy conference championship.

Colton is the returning conference runner-up in the indoor shot put with an NCAA provisional mark of 16.62. Colton also posted a top 10 mark in the weight throw. As one of the most experienced point scorers for the Bulldogs, Colton is poised to compete at the conference and national level this season.

Our coaching staff has done a great job putting together an exciting group with some key additions and impact returners. We always strive to be a well-rounded team that will look to defend the conference championships from the 2022-23 season and push for a high national finish.

Our men's team returns a number of key contributors.  I look forward to seeing who steps up to fill the void left by last year's graduates.  

Jared is having a great Fall season and now has a full year of consistent training under his belt.  I'm excited to see how the strength he's developed transitions to the track. 

Shy came in this Fall and has had a great build-up this off season.  He's positioned himself to have an outstanding final season. 

The environment excites me most about the 2023-24 track and field team, with all the new faces and freshman Minot State has brought in. The track and field team has brought a no fear attitude to proceedings. It's like the old saying goes 'How can you fear, what you don't know?' What Minot State University knows is that they have a group of student-athletes who are enjoying life in Minot, North Dakota. 'Why not Minot'.

Francis is a senior this year on the track and field team, and he has taken upon himself to be a leader on and off the track. Academically Francis has a 3.6 GPA and athletically he does not come up short posting times in practice that have surpassed his personally best indoors from last year. Francis' attitude at practice and his studies speaks louder than him, himself for he is a man of few words.

Josiah brings an energy that will not go unnoticed this season. He is vibrant and has the ability to wow the crowd. He is an athlete with a talent level which enables him to do all three jumps. He is capable of scoring in each one of them and we expect him to do so.

It's an exciting time for our men's team this upcoming season. We add one of the most talented freshmen groups to our team this year. We are well rounded across the board. We hope to score big points in the vault and multi's. We added a lot of depth to our team in several events. We are excited to kick off the indoor season.

JD is coming a great outdoor season where he narrowly missed All-Conference honors in the 110 Hurdles. He is a big contributor to our sprint relays. He had an amazing summer/fall for training. He is truly one of the best leaders in our program. We are excited to see what he can do this upcoming season.

Sam is coming off a runner-up finish at the NSIC Championships in the pole vault. He works extremely hard to hone his craft. He has had a great fall and is getting on some big poles! We are excited to see him soar to new heights this indoor season.

Many key people are returning from last year and we look to improve in the team rankings. We have more balance and depth in our event areas. Our athletes have been working hard this fall and it will be exciting to watch the improvement on this year's team.

Ben is coming off a very good Indoor Season in 2023. At the NSIC Indoor Championships he placed 6th in the 60m High Hurdles. He is #4 on the Honor Roll for the 60m High Hurdles at USF. He Red-shirted the Outdoor Season and is highly motivated to move in the NSIC rankings. Ben is a role model for the athletes on our team and a leader by example.

Tyler had a phenomenal sophomore year starting with the Indoor Season. He was set back in his training with blood clots in a leg, but that didn't stop him from chasing his goals! At the NSIC Indoor Championships he placed 3rd in the Weight Throw with an NCAA D2 Provisional Mark. Tyler also placed 4th in the Shot Put with another NCAA D2 Provisional Mark. Follow that up with an NSIC title outdoors in the Shot Put with a Provisional Mark, a 2nd in the Discus with another Provisional Mark, and a 2nd in the Hammer Throw. Tyler holds the USF School Records in the Shot Put and Weight Throw indoors and the Shot Put and Discus Throw outdoors. He works hard every day and is looking to improve again this year. He settles for nothing less than excellence in his throwing events.

We continue to mature and grow as a program. Records will continue to fall as the season progresses.

Tyler continues to grow as a sprinter. He now owns the 200 M indoor record. He is targeting more records and plans to move up in the conference in the process.

Tyler is a starter on the football team while being a place winner in the very competitive NSIC throws. Coming into his junior season, Tyler is hungry to throw at the completion of football and hoping to place higher at the NSIC Championships.

We have a solid group of performers returning who have scored points in the NSIC, which is always one of our main goals. The group is in a position to improve on their performance from last year when the team surprised a lot of teams with a 4th place finish at the NSIC Championships. It should be an exciting season for the men's team!

Gabe has really developed into a very versatile middle distance runner who has placed in open events as well as relays for us. He capped his indoor season last year with a 5th place finish in the 600 and also ran an important leg on the DMR that placed 4th last year. He is excited to improve on his places from last year and has had his best fall of cross country racing to set him up for a great track season.

Dylan has risen to the top of his event with consistent performances and improvements year to year. He got over the 7' barrier last year during the outdoor season and also was the NSIC Outdoor Champion in the event. He is training very well this fall and should be poised to continue his improvements into 2024!
