"Keyandre Midgett wrapped up his historic VMI career at the NCAA East Regional Championship proudly representing the 'I' one final time. We trained for more, but we're incredibly proud and grateful for everything he gave through the very end. He finished his career with eight individual conference titles between the long jump and triple jump and was a two-time SoCon Field Athlete of the Year as he now prepares for his career as an Army Officer."
