SEATTLE (May 29) -- Seattle Pacific University’s Chris Randolph has been named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference male track and field athlete of the week for a fourth time after breaking his own SPU and GNAC records in winning the NCAA Division II decathlon.

Randolph (Sr., Lone Tree, Co./ Denver Christian) successfully defended his decathlon crown, posting the third-highest total (7,872) by an American this year and adding 260 points to his career-high score. It was the No. 4 winning score in meet history and best since 1988.

Randolph won four events and was runner-up or third in five others. Six of his marks were personal records, including three (high jump 6-8¾, pole vault 15-5, long jump 23-11¾) which rate among the school’s all-time top five. He also now holds the GNAC record in six of the 10 decathlon events.

Randolph will represent the Falcons one final time, at the USA Championships, June 21-22 in Indianapolis.
