Cornell University Athletics

At Cornell
Kemp's career has been characterized by constant improvement. He ran 26:02 for a cross country 8K as a freshman and 31:33 in his first 10K on the track. As a sophomore he qualified for IC4As in the 10K with a time of 31:01. In his junior year, Kemp focussed exclusively on the steeplechase during the outdoor track season, hoping to contribute to the team's 2011 Ivy League campaign and score at the HEPS. Although he fell short of that goal, he posted a seven-second improvement over his best 2010 performance with a time of 9:22.

As a senior, Kemp ran in the Indoor IC4As, placing 23rd in the 5K with a time of 14:47.11. At the Outdoor IC4As, Kemp closed his career with a 12th-place finish in the 10K, coming in at 30:49.68.

Before Cornell

He competed on three straight regional championship teams as a sophomore, junior and senior, winning individual titles as well. He served as team captain for three straight seasons for both cross country and track and field.
