Curtis Beach ran an impressive 1.47.9 during a 4X800 relay some weeks ago.

Never heard about a decathlete so speed in middle distance as Curtis beach is.

C. Beach time at each 200 :
28.0 31.0 30.0 30.7 28.2

The old WR (2.29.42) was held by Joseph Detmer in 2007......on the same track.

Fayetteville a kingdom for 1.000 runners !

Does anybody have top 10 statistics for individual event indoor heptathlon? This would be a nice add-on for the heptathlon section.
