Kennesaw State soars to Huntsville with the second-best regional ranking (No.11 in South Region) of any CUSA member.

Men's Preview
Kennesaw State returns a pair of All-Conference honorees from 2024 in Collins Kipkemboi and Brian Limo. Kipkemboi finished second and Limo placed sixth at the 2024 CUSA Championships. 
 
They are expected to be joined on the podium by Edwin Kiprono who joined KSU in January of 2025. Kiprono made an immediate impact in track and field upon his arrival and has been one of KSU's top three finishers in all four meets this season.
