CHAPEL HILL – Paul Haley earned 2,921 points in the first four events of the men’s heptathlon and sits in fourth with three events remaining at the Tobacco Road Multis. Nick Futia finished with 2,365 points and is in seventh.
“It’s difficult to say – if you just look at the numbers – that you’re pleased with his performance, but if you saw some of the things he did, you’d be excited,” assistant head coach Josh Langley said of Haley. “He had two very big throws in the shot put and they were fouls, but they weren’t big fouls.
