MILLERSVILLE, Pa. – Senior sprinter Kori Meshaw (Lancaster, PA/Hempfield) is now a three-time conference champion in the 400m hurdles as he led the Kutztown University men's track and field team to a fifth place finish at the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Outdoor Championships on Saturday afternoon.
 
Meshaw was also named the Men's Track Most Valuable Player for his performance. He won the race in 51.89 seconds for an NCAA provisional mark and a career-best time to improve his second place mark on Kutztown's all-time list.
 
Meshaw ran the fastest time of his career in a third-place finish in the 110m hurdles. While earning All-PSAC honors, he finished in 14.86 seconds, an improvement by .05 seconds moving him up to sixth all-time in Kutztown history.

“We knew when we were recruiting Kori that he was going to be special,” head coach Ray Hoffman said. “Not only did he meet our expectations, he went above and beyond. It's easy to see his results but what you don't see is the extra work in the weight room, what he does on his own on Sunday's, and the outstanding leadership he provides for the program. I cannot express how much he will be missed. He set the bar high for our future student-athletes.”
  
The Golden Bears finished fifth overall as a team with 71 points. It is an improvement by three places from last year's eighth place performance.
 
Junior vaulter Lanny Buck (Palmerton, PA/Palmerton) finished second overall in the pole vault with an existing NCAA provisional mark. He cleared a mark of 15-07.25 (4.76m) to earn All-PSAC recognition.
 
Junior Zach Fleming (Emerald, PA/Northern Lehigh) also finished second with a career-best performance in the 3000m steeplechase. With his NCAA provisional time of 9:11.04, he moves up to second on Kutztown's Top 10 list in the event.
 
The 4x100 team earned All-PSAC honors with a third place finish Saturday morning. The quartet of Geoffrey Mock (Sicklerville, N.J./Timber Creek), Quran Cason (Philadelphia, PA/Carver E&S), Ron Smith (Trevose, PA/Neshaminy), and Richard Gatewood (Philadelphia, PA/Roman Catholic) turned in a time of 42.28, Kutztown's best time of the season in the event.
 
The 4x400 team of Mock, Meshaw, Smith, and Cason finished sixth overall in 3:19.50.
 
Senior Eli Weeks (Pottstown, PA/Owen J. Roberts) gave Kutztown two points in the 800m finals with a seventh place finish in 1:55.03. Weeks also picked up points in the 1500 with a sixth-place finish in the 1500 in 3:56.81.
 
Mock finished in seventh place, his coming in the 400m dash in 49.04 seconds.
 
In the pole vault, Sean Burns (Milford, PA/Delaware Valley) had an outdoor season-best vault of 14-07.50 (4.46m). Kutztown's 4x400 team closed out the day and finished sixth in 3:19.50 (Mock, Meshaw, Smith, Cason).
 
Senior Michael Stramara (Orwigsburg, PA/Blue Mountain) finished sixth in the finals of the discus throw with his mark of 139-08 (42.58m).
