Through 7 events,  Neugebauer is currently on pace for 8,953 points in the decathlon 

He didn't seem overjoyed with his performance yesterday, which might be a worrying sign for those trying to beat him in Paris.

8961 points for  Leo Neugebauer in the decathlon at the NCAA Championships! 
 

NR & PB by about 130 points!

Absolutely demolished Bob Clay’s decathlon discus throw WR by over 2m, with a best mark of 57.70m. 

May I know where are the full results of NCAA? I could not find it on WA website. 🤣🤣 Thanks

 Nickisha Price with a new WL of 48.89 in the women’s 400m at the NCAA Championships!

 

First sub 49 clocking of the year.

Olympic standard for  Elena Kulichenko in women’s high jump, with a PB of 1.97m at the NCAA Championships! (competition is still ongoing so she could better that mark)

 

Edit:  Rose Yeboah, and  Temitope Adeshina also reach the standard!

Might be one to watch for at the US Olympic Trials, 21.83 (and of course another WL) in the final.
