Kurt fouled on his third and final shot put and finished 12th in that portion of the decathlon's third event.
Here are the standings after three events:
1. Kevin Lazas, Arkansas 2,477 points
2. Kurt Felix, Boise State 2,465
3. Gunnar Nixon, Arkansas 2,462
4. Bjorn Barrefors, Nebraska 2,461
5. Isaac Murphy, Texas 2,412
Felix had 2,416 at this juncture at the MWC Championships, so he is still ahead of pace, but nowhere near where he needs to be to win the decathlon. His first day is always far better than his second so to win the championship, Kurt needs to have a commanding lead on the field after five events.
Up next, the high jump, one of Felix's best events. He will need to clear 7 feet to hope to finish high. Felix jumped 6-11 at the MWC Championships to score 906 points.
