Joe is in Manhattan, Kansas, competing in the last decathlon of his career! It's called the Thorpe Cup, and it's a meet that they put on every year between USA and Germany. Each county sends 7 decathletes and 7 heptathletes, and at the end they total up the top 5 scores from each country to determine a winner. It is usually very competitive and close...and is a fun meet because while you still get an individual score and can go after PRs (personal records), you're also competing for an overall team score, so there is a lot of fun camaraderie.
Joe is feeling good and is excited to compete. They don't start today until 2:00 PM Central, and tomorrow at 1:00. Live results will be posted throughout the day if you click here.
