San Diego State's Allison Reaser made up for a subpar high jump with a 24.30 in the 200 to take the heptathlon lead after day one's events.

He was the runner-up last year at Des Moines as a high schooler, but UCLA freshman Derek Eager moved atop the podium here with his final-round 69.22/227-1 throw. That throw took him past current Washington high schooler Sean Keller, who finished second at 67.05/219-11.

Junior Men's Decathlon (1:20 p.m.)
Gunnar Nixon got off to a solid start in the decathlon with a personal best time in the 100m of 11.03, and a personal best in the long jump with a mark of 7.30m/23-11.5. However, Nixon's marks were not good enough to maintain the lead. Nixon's future teammate, Kevin Lazas of Arkansas leapt to the lead with a PR toss of 15.25m/50-0 in the shot. After three events, Lazas is in the lead with a margin of 131 points.
