Nampa, Idaho - Soph. transfer (clackamas CC) standout Chris Hoppie started the NNU
multi events off in fine style with 5 multi event PR's (Personal Records) to lead after day one. Lucas Ohmes is following in 2nd (we believe- complete over all results are unavailable a this time). If
Chris continues at this pace (always a risky bet in a Decathlon!) he has a very good shot at breaking EOU's school record of 6598 points set by Sean Steen (of Wollowa county) in 1989 and easily qualifying for the NAIA National meet. Both Chris and Lucas have some strong events on the
second day.

Women: Kasie Gillespie and Erin Ontko are competing for the EOU women (6 competitors, no places available). This is Erin's first multi her first time ever competing in some of the events (like the 100 me hurdles).
