Coach Dan Neals says he threw Discus 96′ 5″ for 452 points, and did better than expected in the Pole Vault where he vaulted 11′ 1″ for 457 points. “Not bad for his 4th time doing the event.” Ney threw 124 in the Javelin for 413 points and finished his day talking fourth place in the 1500 at 5:05 for 530 points.
