Trościanka's performance included a world U20 decathlon best of 46,21 seconds in the 400 meters and a championship best of 68.87 meters in the javelin throw.
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
