Boise State’s Kurt Felix was crowned the NCAA National Champion in the decathlon on Thursday, June 7, scoring a school record 8,062-points at the 2012 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field National Championships held at Drake University. Felix won the 10-event competition by a comfortable 106-point margin, becoming the first Bronco to ever win an NCAA title or become an All-American in the decathlon.“It was my last NCAA competition, so it feels really good,” said Felix.The redshirt senior joins the elite club including Eugene Greene (triple jump – 1991), Jake Jacoby (high jump – 1984) and Gabe Wallin (javelin – 2004, 2005) as the only men’s track and field NCAA Champions at Boise State.His crown came much in part from career-best performances in the discus and pole vault and a javelin win on day two. He collected four career-bests (100m, 400m, discus, pole vault) and two event wins (long jump, javelin) throughout the two-day, 10-event competition.Moving to the pole vault, Felix had to have a solid performance to retain a chance at the title in an event he’s not strong in. Felix pulled out a championship meet performance, earning two personal best heights in his outdoor career. He cleared 15′-1″ (4.60m) to place 14 th in the event and earned 790-points more
