Daniel Gee won the men's decathlon championship last week at Lane Community College, finishing with 6,084 total points. Gee was the second-ranked competitor heading into the meet behind teammate James Kelly. Kelly led the meet for the first nine events as he had an outstanding day one with wins in the first three events. Gee used a strong showing on day two, specifically in the throwing events with discus and javelin where he hit big PRs in both, to narrow the gap to under 200 points entering the tough 1,500 meter run. Gee had a brilliant race in the 1,500, finishing in 4:49.59 to win the decathlon title in the final event. The teammates led Umpqua to a 1-2 finish at the top of the podium. Daniel also broke the school record for Umpqua.
