As the 2021 season progresses it seems that the fight for the American team and the NCAA titles in both the Decathlon and Heptathlon will be very close one. While there is no superstars such as Eaton and Hardee the depth is amazing and many athletes showing great progress recently.
In this thread (that I will try to keep open at least until the American trials) I will update about the progress of the main contenders. For those that remember my thread (with GK) in previous years it will be less detailed and only the very best will be followed.
Below is a list of the athletes that I will follow, their sum of PBs and their PB in the Dec/Hep. Additionally, I will update about other favorites of mine (e.g. Dubler and Warner).
