Here are the results of the Men's Decathlon through the first five events competed on Friday at the CWU Wildcat Invitational:
The two day CWU Multis wrap up competition Saturday with the final five events of the men's decathlon (110m Hurdles, Discus, Pole Vault, Javelin, 1500m) and the final three events in the heptathlon (long jump, javelin, 800m). A large contingent of Vikings will head over for a full slate of track & field events as part of the Wildcat Invitational at the CWU Recreation Sports Complex.
A SEASON DEDICATED TO BILL ROE
The Vikings will be racing and competing with heavy hearts in 2021, the first time in over 35 years that Bill Roe has not had a presence with the program. The legendary Track & Field figure passed away in February 2020, leaving behind a huge legacy in the WWU program. The WWU Cross Country Classic will be named in Bill's honor in Fall 2021, but the 2021 track season is also dedicated to the person that gave so much to the track & field community.
