Wisconsin sends six multi-event athletes to Georgia for early season competition
MADISON, Wis. -- Spec Towns Track is the place to be if you're a premier multi-event athlete this week as the Wisconsin track and field program sends six student-athletes to Athens, Georgia, for the Bulldog Decathlon and Heptathlon this Wednesday and Thursday.
The men's decathlon field features five of the top-20 decathletes in the latest U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association National Rankings, including the 2016 NCAA Indoor Heptathlon Champion, Zach Ziemek, and the 2015 NCAA Outdoor Decathlon Champion, Maicel Uibo of Georgia.
Â
Uibo enters the weekend as the top-ranked athlete in the decathlon, while Ziemek, a recent addition to The Bowerman's Men's Watch List, is ranked fourth. Middle Tennessee's Atsu Nyamadi is ranked 12th, while Georgia's Karl Saluri and Devon Williams are 15th and 20th, respectively. Â
Ziemek is joined in the 18-man decathlon field by teammates Sawyer Smith, Charlie Foss and Trent Nytes, who will make his decathlon debut.
The decathlon starts on Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. CT with the 100-meter dash and on Thursday at 12:30 p.m. with the 110 hurdles.
In the women's heptathlon, Georgia Ellenwood and Casie Pawlik will compete for the Cardinal and White.
