TERRE HAUTE, Ind. & WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - The Purdue Fort Wayne men's track and field program completed day two at Indiana State's Gibson Invitational and completed the Wake Forest Invitational on Friday (April 17).

Sam Dunnett highlighted the two days of competition, breaking his own 1500 meters school record at Wake Forest. His time of 3:42.85 is the fastest in the Horizon League. Boden Genovese also ran in the event, running a personal record 3:50.10.

Luca Merita completed a personal record decathlon at the Gibson Invitational, finishing with 5329 points. He set two personal records during competition: 100 meters (11.14) and shot put (12.56m). His final points number is the most in the HL.

Noah Morris ran a school record, and league fastest, 200 meter dash at the Wake Forest Invitational, but the 20.89 time did not count due to wind. The sophomore also ran the Horizon League's second-fastest 100 meter dash, running a personal record 10.53.

Hunter Crew tossed a personal record 53.71 meter hammer throw at Indiana State, the second-furthest mark in the league.

Brevin Miller threw the second-best javelin throw at the Gibson Invitational, reaching 54.69 meters. The mark only sits behind his own previous mark.

The Mastodons will finish out competition at the Gibson Invitational tomorrow (April 18).
