The NCAA Track and Field East Region First Round will take place from May 28-31 at Visit Jax Track at Hodges Stadium hosted by the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, Florida.

The men's triple jump is set to begin at 2:30 p.m. Friday.
 
The Portsmouth, Virginia, native earned the qualification by way of his first-place mark of 15.40 meters at the Virginia Challenge back on April 18 in Charlottesville. The mark currently stands as the 37th-best distance in the East region. At the recent SoCon Outdoor Championships, he placed second overall for a silver medal finish at 14.88 meters.
 
Participants for the 2025 NCAA Division I Men's & Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championships first rounds are determined by the NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Track and Field and Cross Country Committee. The top 48 qualifiers for each event compete in the respective East or West First Rounds.
 
The top 12 finishers in each event at both the East and West First Rounds advance to the NCAA Track and Field Championships from June 11-14 hosted by the University of Oregon in Eugene, Oregon.
 
Midgett is the first VMI qualifier for the NCAA First Round since Eleyah Armstrong qualified in 2024 in the women's 100-meter dash. He is the first male NCAA qualifier since Gavin Jenkins qualified for the steeplechase in 2021.

He will commission into the United States Army later this summer.
