PHILADELPHIA – Senior Max Westman became the first member of the University of Pennsylvania men’s track and field team to win the Penn Relays decathlon since 1932. The Bala Cynwyd, Pa., native won the two-day event Wednesday at Franklin Field with 6,842 points.

Westman’s win marked the first for a Penn athlete in the event since George A. Munger did so 77 years ago. The event has been a part of the Relays 49 times, starting in 1915, but with a hiatus from 1933-1978. No other school can claim more decathlon champions than the host Quakers – though Mount St. Mary’s has matched the nine titles won by the Red and Blue.
