SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Donté Robinson got the Portland State track & field team off to a good start at the Big Sky Outdoor Championships with a first-day personal-best score in the decathlon of 3,523 points Wednesday at Hornet Stadium.
 
Robinson stands sixth in the decathlon standings after the first day of competition, but remains within 300 points of the first-day lead Sacramento State's Alec Acevedo set at 3,809 points. Robinson also stands just 107 points out of second place, giving the Viking junior plenty to look forward to when the competition resumes Thursday.
 
Robinson set personal bests in three of the five events Wednesday, and narrowly missed matching his personal bests in the other two events.
 
Robinson started the day with a personal best in the 100 meters, as he placed third overall in 11.22 seconds. Robinson recorded his second personal best of the day in the shot put with a best throw of 36-00.25 (10.98m), and then capped the day with a personal best in the 400 meters of 50.79 seconds.
 
Robinson wasn't far off his personal bests in the long jump and high jump, as well. Robinson finished the long jump with a best jump of 21-02.75 (6.47m), half-of-an-inch behind his personal best of 21-03.25 (6.48m). Robinson also cleared 6-02.00 (1.88m) in the high jump, three-quarters of an inch behind his personal best of 6-02.75 (1.90m).
 
Day two of the decathlon will start at 11 a.m. Thursday with the 110-meter hurdles.
