Scott clears 1.95 (6' 4¾") on his first attempt. No one else in Flight 1 has cleared yet.

Flight 2 is moving much slower - the bar is only at 1.89.

Bar moves to 1.98 meters (6' 6"). There are 8 remaining in Flight 1, including 2 who have passed on all bars thus far.

Scott misses on his first attempt at 1.98.

And clears on his 2nd attempt! This is really good for Scott!

HoooHHH, WRC. Thanks for all the updates.

Why do we seem to be so good in the decathlon year in year out.

Bar goes to 2.01 meters (6' 7"). Six (in Flight 1) remain, including Duckworth, who enters at this height.

Flight 2 has 6 athletes remainng. They are currently at 1.95m.

Jon Warren recruits athletes who can do multiple events, including the Decathlon. It is helpful when accumulating points at a conference meet. One of Jon's assistant coaches is Drew Fucci, a former NCAA Decathlon champion.

Duckworth, as expected, clears on his first attempt at 2.01. Misses for everyone else, including Scott.

Trent Nytes (Wisconsin), the other excellent high jumper, is passing at this height.

Filip clears it!

Wow - a second attempt clearance for Scott!!!

Only 4 athletes left in flight 2, they are moving to 1.98m.

3 athletes left in flight 1 moving to 2.04m.

6' 8¼" - just Scott, Duckworth and Nytes.

Nytes (Wisconsin) clears 2.04. Filip misses on first attempt. Duckworth (Kentucky) is passing at this height.

Nytes clears, Scott misses.

Duckworth is passing, so Scott will be the only one now making attempts. He'll have one more attempt.

Filip misses on 2nd attempt.
