Santiago Lorenzo was the 2001 NCAA decathlon champion and went on to compete in the 2004 Olympics for his home country of Argentina. After finishing fifth in the decathlon as a freshman at the 2000 NCAA Championships, Lorenzo won the national title by scoring 7,889 points in 2001. In the process, he became the first decathlon champion at Oregon. His mark remains sixth all-time at UO. Lorenzo was a two-time Pac-10 decathlon champion, winning first in 2001, and then again in 2003, when he helped the Ducks capture their first conference team title in 13 years. Lorenzo also set the school record in the indoor heptathlon with a score of 5,608 in 2002; that mark is still fifth in UO history.
