SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – Shippensburg University's Tommy Crum Jr. was recognized Wednesday afternoon as a recipient of a 2025-26 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Winter Top 10 Award.
 
To be a candidate for the prestigious PSAC Top 10 Awards, a student-athlete must maintain a cumulative grade-point average (GPA) of 3.50 or higher and be a starter or key reserve with legitimate athletic credentials. A total of five men and five women are selected as award winners after each of the three competitive seasons (Fall, Winter, Spring).
 
Crum Jr. is a communications/journalism major (broadcast media concentration) who is also minoring in business and sports studies. He maintains a 3.66 cumulative grade-point average (GPA).
 
Last week, Crum Jr. was named the 2026 PSAC Men's Indoor Track Athlete of the Year. He was named the PSAC Indoor Championships Overall MVP and the 2026 PSAC Indoor Championships Most Valuable Track Athlete after winning all three events in which he competed at the league meet. He won the mile (4:11.46) and the 3K (8:29.32) on Day 2 after anchoring the distance medley relay (10:05.78) to a first-place finish on Day 1.
 
During the regular season, Crum Jr. broke the all-time PSAC record in the mile. At Liberty on Feb. 14, Crum Jr. completed his circuit in 4:04.09 – surpassing the previous record by 1.6 seconds that had been held by Slippery Rock's Ryan Thompson since 2017.
 
For the second straight year, Crum Jr. was a three-time U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Atlantic Region honoree. He recorded two individual classifications (the mile, and an 8:14.47 3K achieved at Penn State) and a third for his role on the distance medley relay (DMR).
 
In three years of competition at the PSAC Indoor Championships, Crum Jr. remains undefeated – having won three consecutive 3K titles and two consecutive mile titles while being a part of two consecutive DMR victories. This season marked the second consecutive in which Crum Jr. earned the Overall MVP award at the PSAC Indoor Championships.
 
The award is the second PSAC Top 10 honor of Crum's career – he was also a recipient last winter.
 
This year's male Winter Top 10 honorees span the sports of indoor track & field (Crum, Slippery Rock's Logan Anderson and Seaton Wozniak) and swimming (Gannon's Victor Desmond, West Chester's Kolos Nagy).
 
Shippensburg has totaled 84 all-time PSAC Top 10 awards – second only to Slippery Rock (94) for the most among conference schools.
