Will Daniels grabbed another school record and put his name on the NCAA Division III historical top-10 list in the decathlon with his performance at the Jim Dutcher Memorial Classic Saturday. Daniels won with 7,195 points, the eighth-best mark in Division III since 1985. The decathlon changed in 1985 so separate lists were created. He has the best mark in the country this season. In the women’s heptathlon, Pella-native Kiki Pingel was third (4,442 points) and Mary Gray was fourth (4,363 points). Already the school’s record holder for the heptathlon indoors, Daniels secured the record for the outdoor decathlon thanks to an emphasis on the events of the second day.. The majority of Central’s roster will be at the Kip Janvrin Open on Simpson’s campus next weekend.
