The University of Mary Marauders Hall of Fame
A three-time All-American, Kotchi Prosper remains the best triple-jumper in University of Mary men’s track & field history more than two decades after he last competed for the Marauders, with his name firmly ensconced within the team record books.
Honing his craft after arriving on the UMary campus in the fall of 1993, the native of Andover, MN, and graduate of Blaine High School developed into a 9-time conference champion in the long and triple jumps. A three-time Marauders field events most valuable performer, Prosper earned his first All-American triple jump citation at the 1997 indoor championships. He then deeply entrenched himself in team history by placing second in the triple jump at the 1997 outdoor championship. In his final season competing for the Marauders, Prosper earned All-American honors at the 1998 outdoor championships. A team captain and later an assistant coach in the UMary track & field program, Prosper is still the school triple jump record holder both indoors (49’ 8”) and outdoors (50’ 3”).
A 1997 University of Mary graduate who earned a Bachelor of Science degree in social and behavioral science in 1997, Kotchi is a senior financial advisor at Affinity Plus FCU in Roseville, MN.
