SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – Shippensburg University lays claim to six individuals who were announced on Wednesday to the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC)'s "75 Distinguished Keystones" list.
 
The list recognizes individuals who have been historically influential in the PSAC, whether it be staff, coaches, or administrators.
 
The PSAC is celebrating its 75th anniversary season in 2025-26 and is honoring 300 of its most prominent contributors throughout the month of September.
 
"Every great structure relies on keystones, which are essential elements that hold everything together," said Steve Murray, PSAC Commissioner. "The individuals we recognize as our Distinguished Keystones have been just that: the steady hands, bold voices, and visionary leaders who helped shape the foundation of our conference."
 
Murray added: "They may or may not have worn a uniform, but their fingerprints are all over our history. Their legacy reminds us that success isn't only measured in points or trophies but in leadership, dedication, and a lifelong commitment to something greater than oneself."

The PSAC was founded on March 11, 1951, and comprised 14 institutions as the Pennsylvania State Teachers College Athletic Conference (PSTCAC). Since then, it has grown into one of the largest conferences in the NCAA across all three divisions.
