Olympian could set new standard tomorrow in U.S.'s first IAAF-ratifiable women's decathlon

April 14, 2005

Results


COLUMBIA, Mo. - Austra Skujyte of Lithuania with 3,898 points, along with three collegians, completed the first day of competition in the first women's decathlon held in America on Thursday, heading into the final day of the second annual Audrey Walton Combined Event with a chance to break the world record in the event. Currently, Skujyte is 56 points ahead of the World-record pace set by France's Marie Collonville, who established the standard for female decathletes in 2004 with a two-day total of 8,150 points.


Skujyte, the Olympic silver medalist in the heptathlon and Kansas State grad, ended the day with a personal-best time of 57.19 seconds in the 400-meter dash. Her time enabled her to stay in front of Collonville's pace, as well as Brianne Eveland of Kansas State, who had taken the lead in the competition after three events. Eveland, the Big 12 Indoor Champion in the pole vault, used her strongest event to earn 1,018 points with a 13 foot, 5¼ inch (4.10m) vault, tying the overall Walton Stadium record in the event. After five events she has 3678 points, and will become the collegiate record-holder if she can stay in second place through tomorrow's competition.

Not true, its not the first women's decathlon in America; Washington has had a high school girls decathlon for a couple of years now (I competed in it my senior year of high school (2003) at Lake Washington High School in Kirkland). It is just the first IAAF-ratifiable.

Actually - since its stated in the title that its the first IAAF-ratifiable decathlon, it is assumed that you will carry that over when reading the article - that way the journalist doesnt have to repeat themself. It wasnt meant to imply anywhere in the article that it was the first ever womens decathlon.

It's the first to follow the ratified schedule that flips the field event days from the men's schedule.
