DURHAM, N.C. – Former Duke track & field decathlete Daniel Golubovic (’17) is set to represent Team USA at the 2017 Thorpe Cup on July 29-30 in Dusseldorf, Germany.
The Thorpe Cup, named in honor of the first Olympic Decathlon Champion Jim Thorpe, is an international competition between the United States and Germany where teams are composed of up to seven men and seven women to compete in the decathlon and heptathlon.
