EUGENE, Ore.
[b]Darius Kilgo Jersey[/b] . -- This wasnt a world record for Ashton Eaton -- just a runaway win and another trip to the Olympics.Not bad for a decathlete dealing with an injury.On a tender hamstring and a quadriceps that has given him problems in recent weeks, the defending Olympic champion scored 8,750 points to beat Jeremy Taiwo by 325 at the U.S. Track and Field Trials on Sunday. Thats well off Eatons world record of 9,045, set at the world championships last summer in Beijing.But consider this: No one in the decathlete field for the Rio Olympics has a personal best that matches Eatons mark from the trials.Hes simply in a different stratosphere these days. The only person who can compete against him is, well, a computerized model of himself.Its almost like I make a digital version of myself, try to compete against that, Eaton said. I had this little, mini sub-goal of trying to score 9,000 every decathlon. It would be cool never to go back to [8,000].At the previous Olympic trials, also at Hayward Field, Eaton broke the decathlon world record for the first time. Eugene has long been a special place for him. Its where he and his wife, Canadian heptathlete Brianne Theisen-Eaton, met while attending the University of Oregon and rose to prominence.Eaton said he was shooting for the record, but his leg made it impossible.I had the same mindset, Eaton said. I would say the expectations personally and externally were a little bit different.The 28-year-old Eaton was in such control that his coach, Harry Marra, told him to run the final event, the 1,500, at a slower pace than normal. There was no sense in putting extra wear and tear on the leg with the Olympic decathlon in six weeks. Eaton still ran event No. 10 in 4 minutes, 25.15 seconds, which was one of the top times.This meet defines Ashton Eaton way more than his world-record performances. Those were great performances, Marra said. But he had so many obstacles physically. ... He did this with a bum leg.It was a leg his coach wasnt sure would hold up during the 400 on Saturday, but it did. It was a leg Eaton wasnt sure would be ready for the 110-meter hurdles on Sunday, but it was.Through this competition, Eaton learned a little bit more about himself. He doesnt have to be super aggressive all the time. Smooth works almost as well.The reviews were pretty good, Eaton said. As a decathlon, if you dont leave with something frustrated, then you should quit because it was perfect.In command, Eaton even had time to take in some other events. He watched Chaunte Lowe win the high jump by holding hold off teenager Vashti Cunningham, the daughter of longtime NFL quarterback Randall Cunningham. He caught Jeffery Hendersons win in the mens long jump and Allyson Felixs blistering performance in the 400.Its nice to have a front-row seat as a decathlete on the field and get to see all that stuff, Eaton said. Those kinds of things are inspirational, and you try to learn from it. Sometimes, I try to pick up little things from the specialists.Taiwo had a solid performance to take second, while Zach Ziemek of Wisconsin wound up third. It was an event that was missing Trey Hardee, the 2012 Olympic silver medalist who didnt finish after he suffered a left hamstring injury on the first day.Eatons big plans now will be to squeeze in some rest before he and his wife head to Rio. There, Eaton has a chance to make a little history as he tries to defend his title. That hasnt been done in the decathlon since British star Daley Thompson won in 1980 and 84.That would be cool, Eaton said. Awesome company to be in, but there are really good competitors.Asked if he might chase after another world record in Rio, Eaton grinned.The Olympic Games are so much different from anything else, Eaton said. You dont even talk about world records, in a way. If its there at the very end, sure, Ill run to get it. Other than that, its event to event.
