SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – Distance runners
Gabby Keith (Reading, Pa./Exeter) and
Maura Lenhart (Center Valley, Pa./Southern Lehigh) produced program top 10 times in the 1500m and 5000m, respectively, and the Kutztown University women's track & field team picked up points in five different events to conclude the 2026 PSAC Outdoor Championships at Shippensburg University, Saturday.
Â
Keith was the Golden Bears' top individual finisher on the day with a fifth-place run in the 1500m. The redshirt freshman from Reading, Pa., crossed the line with a time of 4:43.21, good for 10th fastest in KU history.

Lenhart improved upon her 10th best time in the 5000m with a 17:50.38 to place eighth out of 19 runners. She dropped more than four seconds from her former PR of 17:54.77, which was set back in late March at the Lynchburg Dr. Jack M. Toms Alumni Invitational.
