Let us begin with Kori Meshaw.  In 2009, Kori was instrumental in leading Hempfield boys team to it's first PIAA Championship in school history!!!  Kori has continued his track & field career at Kutztown University!!

Kori finished 6th in the 60 Hurdles(8.51), anchored the 1600 Relay(3:20.85) to a 5th place finish, and lead off the 3200 Relay(7:51.68) to a 3rd place finish!  Kori is one of the most versatile athletes to ever run track at Hempfield!  He also was an even better leader!

Kori's best individual event is outdoors, in the 400 hurdles!  Returning PSAC champion and qualified for Nationals last year!!






Ellie Ressler is currently in her junior season at Shippensburg.

Ellie was a great two sport athlete at Hempfield.  She excelled at volleyball and track & field!  Her season season at Hempfield she was the league champion and was the only girl in Hempfield history to win a medal at the state track meet in the pole vault!!

For Shippensburg, Ellie helped the women's team win the indoor championship!  Ellie finished 8th(3.27m/10'9") this year in the indoor pole vault!

Ellie is one of the top vaulters in PSAC and should have a great outdoor season!!

Tyler also helped Lock Haven 3200 relay(8:00.22) to a 4th place finish!(Note:that is one place behind Kori Meshaw's Kutztown team!)  

Tyler was also a versatile atlete at Hempfield!  Not only was Tyler a important part of the track & field team, but a very good basketball payer!
