ensure he scored enough points
in the 1,500 to remain in the top
eight and earn points toward
K-State’s team total. Texas’ Isaac
Murphy made a push to sur-
pass Cleve on the standings, but
Cleve was able to run just fast
enough to hold off Murphy by
32 points and fi nish eighth for
the Wildcats.
Cleve’s score was just 99
points shy of his point total in
2009 when he fi nished ninth —
a testament to how strong the
fi eld was in this year’s decathlon.
Cal’s Michael Morrison won
the decathlon with his score of
8,118 points, and Duke’s Curtis
Beach fi nished second with
8,084 points. Beach highlighted
the fi nal event as he ran the sec-
ond-fastest time in a decathlon
1,500 meters in history crossing
the line in 3:59.13.
Also an example of the depth
of the meet, the last time some-
one with a score of more than
7,800 points fi nished eighth at
the NCAA Championship in
the decathlon was 1992.
“Moritz did a great job of
competing and hanging tough
in rough conditions and in a
remarkable fi eld of collegiate
decs,” Rovelto said. “Probably
the second-best collegiate de-
cathlon ever in terms of quality
depth.”
Th e Wildcats return to action

Saturday. Jeff rey Julmis runs in
the fi nal of the men’s 110-meter
hurdles where he fi nished fi ft h
last year. He ran a school record
13.50 seconds in the semifi nal
on Th ursday. Martina Tresch
also looks to score in the fi nal
of the women’s 3,000 meter
steeplechase aft er also running
a personal record in the semi-
fi nals.
Entering the championship
meet, K-State was one of 14
schools to have both its men’s
and women’s programs ranked
in the Top 25. Th e men scored
16 points for a tie in 16th place
and the women tallied 19 points,
fi nishing 13th. Th e last time
both teams fi nished in the Top
25 was 1999 when both teams
tied for 24th. It also marks the
fi rst time both K-State track and
fi eld teams have fi nished in the
Top 20 in the same year.
