SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain (Aug. 25) ­Jack Hoyt, a former All-American at Seattle Pacific University and more recently the Falcons' head coach, finished second in the World Masters decathlon for ages 40-44.

Hoyt, who won last year's U.S. title, scored 6942 points to claim the silver medal while fellow American Kip Janvrin, a past Olympian and Pan Americans Games champion, won with 8623. Estonia's Aivar Koiduste got the bronze medal with 6376.

Hoyt, 41, was runner-up to Janvrin, 40, in four events and was virtually assured of second place following the first day's five events.

Hoyt resigned from SPU after six seasons earlier this week to accept an assistant coaching position at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
