LOCK HAVEN, Pa. (Feb. 24) – Following a standout performance over the weekend, California (PA) junior Marlin Davis was chosen the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Track Athlete of the Week for the second time this season on Monday afternoon.

Davis reached a pair of NCAA provisional qualifying marks and broke his own school record in the 60-meter dash at the Penn State Tune-Up on Friday. He won the finals of the 60 meters by over one-tenth of a second with a time of 6.74 seconds after topping the preliminaries by crossing the finish line in 6.81 seconds.  Davis also placed second in the 200-meter dash behind only an entry from the host Nittany Lions with an indoor personal best of 21.46 seconds.

He enters the PSAC Championships ranked third on the league's performance list in the event, just one-hundredth of a second behind the top time. Davis boasts the fastest time in the conference in the 200 meters this winter by four-tenths of a second.

The PSAC Championships will be held on March 1-2 at the Philip Rauch Fieldhouse on the campus of Lehigh in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
