Kawohl isn't Webb's typical decathlete. He began running track when he was only 6 years old. When he was 13 through 15, he competed in eight different events, which served as a precursor to the decathlon. Webb remembers recruiting two-time SEC decathlon champion Aric Long. He credits UT with accelerating his education.
Most schools only have one or two.
UT has four, and Webb expects all of them to place in the SEC meet. Kawohl will enter the meet a favorite over LSU's Claston Bernard, the SEC's defending champion who has a best mark of 7,536 this year. On the other side of the romance, Bolt is struggling to regain last year's form when she placed 13th nationally. I really don't understand it. I feel like I should be doing a lot better.
