MSU TRACK & FIELD
 
EMPORIA, Kan. (MSU) – Classes may be finished and the Class of 2024 has celebrated graduation, but for one Minot State student-athlete, there is still competitive work to be done. Beaver freshman Jasiah Hambira makes his debut at the NCAA Division II National Championships today with high expectations for himself as the newly crowned NSIC high jump champion is not ready to settle for just one medal this spring as he is set to compete Friday in the high jump at nationals. Earlier this month, Hambira enjoyed the best day of his young collegiate career clearing a career-best 7 feet, 0.25 inches at the NSIC Outdoor Championships, leaping past the rest of the conference for his first NSIC title. An all-time Minot State outdoor school record as well, the mark moved Hambira to No. 12 in the nation and locked up a first-ever trip to the NCAA National Outdoor Track and Field Championships hosted by Emporia State this weekend. Hambira, one of the nation’s best, will compete against the nation’s best today at 3:30 p.m. for a national championship and All-American honors. The top 12 finishers at nationals earn All-American honors. And it truly is a matter of who brings their best today as Eli Kosiba of Grand Valley State (Mich.) comes into the meet with the top mark this season of 7-5.75. He is one of nine high jumpers – including Hambira – who turned in their best performance of the spring in May, meaning Friday’s competition should be intense, and wide-open. A national title for Hambira would be a first-ever for Minot State in its NCAA Division II era, while a Top 12 finish for Hambira would make him the track and field program’s fifth NCAA All-American, joining the distinguished list of Leif Nelson (javelin, 2022 and 2023), Cody Schmidt (javelin, 2015), and Kirk Capdeville (pole vault, 2014).
