Competing in a meet named for an Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete, a pair of Liberty multi-event athletes posted personal-best scores on Thursday. Anthony Bryan tallied an ASUN-leading 6,912 points in the decathlon, while Myiah Scott racked up a personal-best 4,218 points in the heptathlon at the Bryan Clay Invitational at Cougar Athletic Stadium.
Bryan finished eighth in Group A, the decathlon’s top seeded section. He led all competitors in his group with a 14.35 clocking in day two’s opening event, the 110 hurdles. That ranks No. 2 all-time among Liberty decathletes, trailing only Greg Benhase’s 14.20 effort from 1998. Bryan also pushed his javelin personal best to 153-10 later in the day.
Bryan’s score of 6,912 puts him 540 points ahead of the ASUN’s No. 2 competitor this season, Kennesaw State’s Jordan Fick. It is also the top decathlon score recorded by a Liberty Flame since 2018.
Fellow sophomore Scott shattered her previous heptathlon best by 263 points to end up ninth in Group C. She threw the javelin a personal-best 81-11 and then closed her competition with a 2:40.57 800, missing her personal best by less than a second in that event.
