Under the stage name Breaux Keller, Kori has competed for the WWE, AEW, and Three Legacies Wrestling, a Lancaster-based professional wrestling academy. One of his favorite moments in his wrestling career was performing in Washington, DC, for the WWE. “It was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Nine-year-old me would be so happy and blissful knowing I was able to perform there. I’m forever grateful and appreciative of that opportunity.” Some of Kori’s best memories are the connections he makes with his fans. “They view us like superheroes, and it’s those little moments of getting to talk to the kids and parents that make it worth it.” In addition, Kori has begun coaching track and field at his alma mater, Hempfield Senior High School. “I’ve been able to connect with the student athletes in a different way because I used to be in their “running” shoes. I used to run where they did, and I know how the program works. Plus, holding a few of the Track and Field high school records help, too. It gives me some street credit.” As Kori continues his coaching career, he is thankful for the opportunities he had at KU that led him to this moment. “In the grand scheme of things, my time at KU was small, but it was so impactful on my life.” KORI MESHAW When Kori came to KU in 2009, he immediately felt at home. While at KU, he was a member of the Men’s Outdoor Track and Field team, where he won the PSAC Championship 400m hurdles three years in a row. “I enjoyed every second on the track.” Some of Kori’s fondest memories at KU are from his time with the Track and Field team. “We made deep connections through the team, our shared classes, and developed a bond that has lasted today.” Post graduation, Kori found a career with Clark Associates, working his way from their e-commerce division to his current role as an account manager with Clark National Accounts, a supply chain solutions company. In his current role, Kori works with some of Clark’s largest customers to ensure they get their products and works on strategic, long-term growth for the company. “Everything I built here at KU helped me land my first job; it set me up for success.” Kori is appreciative of the work-life balance that Clark provides. On their campus, they have a daycare and gym, which he uses as he continues to train during his wrestling career. An avid competitor, Kori has always been drawn to the athleticism and theatrics of wrestling, and when he had the opportunity to get into the ring, he couldn’t resist. SPRING 2025 | 23
