Devon Allen Had Defining Moment of 2016 Olympic Trials

There is no doubt that the biggest moment of the 2012 Olympic Trials in Eugene was the feat of Decathalete Ashton Eaton. His then World Record setting performance propelled him to London where he would compete for and take the gold medal. He returns this year looking to go for back to back gold in the event.

Is was clear from the beginning of the Olympic Trials in 2016 that one athlete in particular would stand out from the rest, if his performance was up to par. Devon Allen plays two sports for the University of Oregon and came back from a knee injury to the football field in 2015 for a solid return season.
