In April, Michigan State decathlete Heath Baldwin set a new personal best of 8470 at the Mt. SAC Relays. That is the best score by any American decathlete in 2024 and the fifth best score in the world so far this year. It was a Big Ten record and was the seventh best score in the history of the NCAA.
The score also met the Olympic standard - and the timing is just right for Baldwin, with the Paris 2024 Olympics looming.
