The Shippensburg University men's indoor track & field team wrapped up the regular season at Bucknell's Bison Tune-Up on Friday night with a host of strong performances in action at Gerhard Fieldhouse.
 
Ke'Aune Green and Quinton Townsend came with hundredths of a second of their respective PRs in the 200 meters that rank among the school's Top 10 performances in the event. Green won in 21.74 seconds, while Townsend ran 22.06 seconds.
 
Lavar Jackson earned his Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships qualifier in the 60-meter dash with a season best of 6.94 seconds and later tied Jak Kearney for third place in the 200 meters; both men ran 22.25 seconds.
 
Kearney won the long jump with a season best and his first seven-meter mark of the season. His top leap was measured at 23 feet, 2 ½ inches (7.07 meters).
 
Jackson Sotosky equaled his PR in the high jump with a fourth-place clearance of 6 feet, 4 ¾ inches (1.95 meters) and placed second in the long jump with a leap of 22 feet, 11 ¼ inches (6.99 meters).
 
Gian Greggo won the shot put with a throw of 58 feet, 0 ½ inches (17.69 meters) and took third in the weight throw on a top mark of 56 feet, 1 inch (17.09 meters). Greggo exceeded the NCAA provisional qualifying standard in the shot put in all six of his meets this season.
 
Donovan Kitchen landed a new indoor personal best in the shot put of 54 feet, 4 ½ inches (16.57 meters) – an NCAA provisional qualifier that improves his No. 6 all-time spot on the school's Top 10 list for the event. Heptathlete Tyler Rossi improved his indoor shot put PR to 42 feet, 8 ¼ inches (13.01 meters).
 
Ridge Crispino upped his season best in the weight throw to 53 feet, 2 ¾ inches (16.22 meters) while Josh Durika threw a PR of 48 feet, 4 inches (14.73 meters).
 
Ethan Conrad finished sixth in the 60-meter hurdles with a new indoor PR of 8.68 seconds that is just .03 seconds off the PSAC automatic qualifying standard. The PSAC fills each event to a minimum of 18 participants, but there are currently 18 qualified hurdlers around the league.
 
Shippensburg did however pick up a couple of key new PSAC qualifying times in mid-distance events. Jackson Gutekunst ran the 800 meters in a sixth-place time of 1:58.38 that makes him the fifth qualified Raider in the event.
 
Ryan Wolfe and Daniel Naylor went 1-2 in the mile. Wolfe, who hadn't run the mile this season, crossed the finish line in 4:20.12 for a PSAC qualifier. Naylor, already qualified, ran 4:20.81. Wolfe becomes the seventh Raider (and 21st runner in the PSAC this season) to qualify for the mile.
 
The 2026 PSAC Championships take place Saturday, Feb. 28 and Sunday, March 1 at Lehigh.
