Soren Kaster won the heptathlon at the M City Indoor Classic on 12/6-7. Kaster established new indoor PRs in all four events on day one. He clocked a time of 7.46 in the 60-meter dash and followed that up by measuring 6.08 meters in the long jump, smashing his previous indoor PR by 1.5 feet and setting a new overall personal best. He improved his previous top mark in the indoor shot put by more than five feet as he measured 10.80 meters and concluded day-one action by clearing 1.68 meters in the high jump, a new overall PR by more than two inches. Day two saw Kaster clock a time of 9.24 in the 60-meter hurdles, another personal best and tying him for 10th in team history. He then climbed from third place in the overall standings to first place thanks to a strong showing in the pole vault as Kaster cleared 4.30 meters on his first attempt, making him 6-for-6 in indoor PRs. Kaster completed the 1000-meter run in 2:54.57 and secured the 19-point victory.
