LEWISBURG, Pa. – After a week off from competition, Kutztown women's outdoor track & field was back in action and had one of its more successful days of the 2026 season so far, netting four Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference qualifying standards Saturday on day one of the two-day Bison Outdoor Classic, hosted by Bucknell University.
 
Gabby Keith (Reading, Pa./Exeter), Maura Lenhart (Center Valley, Pa./Southern Lehigh), Jensen Kraft (Nutley, N.J./Saint Mary) and Maria Clark (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Mechanicsburg) represented the Golden Bears in PSAC marks, with Clark earning it in two different events.
 
In the shot put, Clark threw a 13.28m (43-7), which is a personal-best and raises her footprint on sixth all-time in KU history, with her previous best of 13.20m (43-3.75) getting beaten out. She also had a PSAC qualifying throw of 39.32m (129-0) in the discus.
 
Lenhart had the highest finish of the day with second place in the 10,000m. Her 37:54.62 ranks 10th in program lore.
 
Also on the track, Keith ran a 4:45.42 in the 1500m and Kraft's 4:46.81 in the 1500m were both PSAC times.
 
Action day two Sunday begins at 10:30 a.m., from Lewisburg.
