KUTZTOWN, Pa. -- The Kutztown Univeristy men's track and field team concluded the indoor regular season on home soil at the KU Last Chance Meet at O'Pake Fieldhouse Friday evening.

Junior Anthony DeFusco (Douglassville, Pa./Daniel Boone) was the story of the day for KU. The Douglassville, Pa. native won the long and triple jump, hitting PSAC marks in both events. His 14.31-meter mark in the triple jump was the sixth-best in KU history, while his 6.91-meter long jump tied his already ninth-best mark in the record book. 

The Golden Bears dominated across the board, with Cody Schabener (Reading, Pa./Exeter Township), JT Tamayo (Reading, Pa./Wilson), James Washburn (Shoreham, N.Y./Shoreham-Wading River), Anthony Helmstetter (Middlesex, N.J./Middlesex), and DeFusco winning their individual events. DeFusco and Helmstetter were the Golden Bears to earn PSAC marks in their wins.

Jacob Solonoski (Weatherly, Pa./Weatherly) earned a PSAC mark in the weight throw, along with Jordon Floyd (Westampton, N.J./Rancocas Valley Regional) in the triple jump. Jason Mraz (Edison, N.J./Edison) and Nate Schaeffer (Mohrsville, Pa./Schuylkill Valley) performed solidly in the pole vault, both clearing the bar at 4.39 meters for a PSAC mark. 

KU now turns its attention to the postseason. The Golden Bears travel to Bucknell next weekend, Feb. 25 and 26, to take part in the PSAC Indoor Championships.
