Peterson made a big jump after finishing 14^th in the 110m Hurdles (16.61) and Discus (32.86m) which had him in 13^th place with three events remaining. He took advantage of the Pole Vault, his specialty event, where he scored 731 points finishing second with a mark of 4.40m. Following the Pole Vault he took 10^th in the Javelin (45.92m) and eighth in the 1500m (4:50.60) to advance up four positions in just three events.

Jacob Huset (Tacoma, WA) had a tough finish to his career. He started the day with a ninth-place finish in the 110m Hurdles (15.90), which moved him into eighth. He then finished 18^th in the Discus (29.90m), in what would be his final scoring event. He did not record a mark in the Pole Vault and did not start in the Javelin or 1500m as he was one of three athletes to not finish the event. Through seven events he had 4,672 points finishing11^th.
