In 2017 Felix was able to set a new school record in the senior boys 400m with a time of 49.44s thus erasing the old mark of 50.30s set by Anthony Modeste in 1993. This was Felix's first year competing in the event. At the National Junior Championships of the same year Felix extended his personal best distance in the Triple Jump with a jump of 14.87m.

In 2021 Felix became the NJCAA National Indoor Champion in the men's 400m.[2] He was the first Grenadian athlete to win this title. He also earned All-American honors as part of the Barton County Community team which finish third at the outdoor Championships.[3] [4]
