Jake Arnold won the decathlon at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. He recorded 8215 points. Tom Pappas was second with 8101 and Joseph Detmer third with 8009 points.
The Decathlon's nice in that you get to know the other athletes. It's almost like everyone helps each other out. We're all out there trying to win, but at the same time there's a friendship there too. It's always fun going to meets and catching up with the other guys - Tom Pappas
