A student-athlete has written to me, asking if I know of any women's
decathlons scheduled in the U.S. this season. I didn't, but wrote to
the University of Missouri, to ask whether their Audrey Walton Combined
Events Carnival, where Austra Skujyte (LTU) set the current world
record, would be held this year.
Replies from the Mizzou sports info office and their track coach
confirmed that the event is planned for April 12-13, but noted that few
entries had been received thus far.
If anyone knows of other decathlon competitions scheduled for this
summer, I'd be happy to pass the information along.
