Most people on the T&FN Message Board like Eaton over Clay. Hardee not competing since he gets an automatic bid as defending world champ.

8729 for Eaton ... If this guy stays healthy for rest of his career the world record will be destroyed eventually!

Kind of feel bad for Miller Moss. He gets top three but no A standard. And that is probably in large due to him running the 4x400 at nationals which was right before the NCAA decathlon 1500. At NCAAs he scored 7996 points where I think the A standard is 8000. So that comes out to be about .6 seconds. He ended up running a 4:44.71 at NCAAs where he is a consistent 4:35 guy.

The NCAA decathlon ended up taking 3 days, the marks set there did not count for World Champs qualifying.
