    The Practice of Patience with Jared Gregoire

    The MSUM Dragons Podcast is sponsored by: On this edition of the MSUM Dragons Podcast, Assistant AD for Media and PR Nolan Schmidt sits down with distance man Jared Gregoire. The Buffalo, Minn., native turned in one of the greatest first-year campaigns in the history of the Northern Sun, winning conference Newcomer of the Year in indoor and outdoor track as well as cross country. Gregoire set numerous school records as a true freshman on the track and continued his upward pace as a sophomore. The premier harrier would run into injury trouble late in his sophomore season that kept him out of action for the entirety of the 2024-25 athletic year. A mysterious injury could have kept Gregoire down, but he has since returned to action, looking sharp as the Dragons prepare for the NSIC Cross Country Championships. Gregoire discusses the important of patience throughout his journey back to running and why he is poised to pick up where he left off.

    Learning how to be a passing quarterback with Jack Strand

    The MSUM Dragons Podcast is sponsored by: On this edition of the MSUM Dragons Podcast, Assistant AD for Media and Public Relations Nolan Schmidt is joined by senior quarterback Jack Strand. The Bloomer, Wis., native discusses his journey with the Dragon football program, which began back in 2022. MSUM was of the few offers Strand received out of high school as he came from an option-style offense. In stark contrast, Strand has since become the most prolific passer in program history and stands as one of the top signal-callers in NCAA Division II.   He currently owns every major passing record in program history and is just 49 pass yards shy of 10,000 for his career. Additionally, Strand is a three-time All-NSIC selection and has twice been nominated for the Harlon Hill Award. Strand threw for six touchdowns in MSUM's week zero victory over Northern Michigan on Thursday, tying the single-game school record held by himself and Jon Frykman.
