Good job Eaton.
Good job Eaton.
Unprecedented. Great to see.
1500 PR, but not collegiate decathlon record. So close!
If he can run a 2:30 1000m, how can he not run a 4:20 1500m?

Cool, eh?
Do you guys think 71 - 72 -74 - 63 were the best splits for him? I have to think more even splits would have helped.

there's 3 more events, possibly?

Not unprecendented. Beach tears up the 1500. Of course, he's got a way to go to be at Eaton's level in anything else really.
However, do you guys remember in I think 2007 when the guy from Arizona just killed everyone for the deca win? He rana 4:02 1500!
If he can run a sub 46.5m how can he not be sub 2:20? Because there is no point in decathletes training for anything over 400m. You concentrated on the other events and gut out a the 1500m

Larry Rawson said with a lap to go that Eaton does no type of distance work in the spring? WTF he is in the middle distance mecca of the US shit do a workout or two with Hasay and he would have crushed it. 4:20 is not that difficult for a dude with his talent
I'm going to ask Eaton out tonight. I have ten disciplines that I want to show him...in bed!

You're confused. Jake Arnold of Arizona won the dec in 2007 but ran 4:34 in the 1500. Joe Detmer of Wisconsin ran 4:04 in the 1500 to place second overall in the dec and set the collegiate dec 1500 record in the process.
Hopefully he could do the first 300 meters faster than 71!
