EUGENE, Ore. – Competing in their first collegiate decathlon, redshirt freshmen Koby Kessler and Aiden Carter topped 7,200 points in top-10 finishes at the Bryan Clay Multis in Azusa, Calif. Kessler finished in sixth place with 7,292 points while Carter was eighth with 7,235 points over the two-day competition.

In the final event of the weekend, Kessler took first in the 1500 meters in 4:27.43 to move from 10^th to sixth place thanks to a collection of 762 points. He finished more than nine seconds ahead of the field. Kessler's day also including an all-conditions best of 14.78 (+2.8) in the 110 hurdles and a lifetime-best measure of 41.73m/136-11 in the javelin.
