I believe Eaton was only short of 7,000 points for the runs and jumps by 135 points at te US Trials. He ran the 400 in a deluge (46.70 vs 45.68 pr). He did the HJ on a wet and slippery runway (2.05 vs 2.11 three weeks earlier). He ran the hurdles in 13.70 vs 13.34 a month earlier.

Any chance he can average 1,000 points for the set of runs and jumps? What is the highest number any decathlete has recorded in those 7 events?

i could be wrong but I believe it would be eaton since he has the world record in running events at 3881 and in the same meet he went 2974 only second to tom pappas in the jumping events that would make him the highest?!?!
