Peyton Bair’s 6503 points was a record-setting collegiate heptathlon performance at the 2026 NCAA Indoor Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas, placing him sixth all-time worldwide.
At the 2010 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, Ashton Eaton clinched his third straight decathlon crown with a meet‑record 8457 points, becoming the first male athlete ever to win three consecutive NCAA decathlon titles.
