Fellin, Wallace set KU records, five Golden Bears earn PSAC marks at David Hemery Valentine Invitational

BOSTON, Mass. -- The Kutztown University men's track and field team made some noise on Saturday afternoon at the David Hemery Valentine Invitational hosted by Boston University. Six Golden Bears hit PSAC marks, two ended with top-ten finishes, and two set top-ten times in KU history.

The freshman duo of Dekai Averett (Douglassville, Pa./Souderton) and Michael Fellin (Sheppton, Pa./Marian Catholic) shined on the day for Kutztown. Fellin started his day with an eighth-place finish in the 60-meter dash, before putting up the 7th-best time in school history in the 200 meters with a 22.37 run. Averett was the other KU runner to finish in the top ten in an event, finishing tenth in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 8.68. Both hit PSAC marks in those three events.

KU's other record-setter was sophomore Domenick Wallace (Rockaway, N.J./Morris Hills). The Rockaway, N.J. native ran the fourth-fastest time in KU history in the 800-meters with a 1:54.59 run, which also earned him a PSAC mark. 

Savaughn Hebron (Langhorne, Pa./Neshaminy) and Matt Salazar (Rockaway, N.J./Morris Hills) were the other Golden Bears to earn a PSAC mark. Hebron hit a 51.42 time in the 400-meters, while Salazar ran 1:57.39 in the 800-meters. JT Tamayo (Reading, Pa./Wilson) also competed in the 400-meters, hitting a time of 51.56. The foursome of Hebron, Salazar, Tamayo, and Wallace rounded out the day in the 4x400-meter relay, finishing in 31st. 

The Golden Bears will be on home turf next weekend at the KU Last Chance Meet on Friday, Feb. 17 at the O'Pake Fieldhouse. That meet will kick off at 4 p.m.
