Outlook for 2013 Meeting Team USA selected itself from the recent 94th USA national championships in Des Moines. Spots were
offered to athletes after 3rd place and a number of athletes declined nomination. Coaches added a discretionary
selection. Team USA has only three returnees from last year’s lineup in Marburg and this is decidedly a lineup-up of
youngsters. In fact the 2013 team averages (sans Ryan Harlan) 22 years of age, is the youngest American team ever.
Page 2
Rice grad Ryan Harlan and Houston grad Wesley Bray are the elder statesmen at 32 and 25. Harland is the
2005 winner. Bray was 5th at the weather-bitten USA nationals in Des Moines. Gray Horn, who placed 4th in Des
Moines, will be relied upon for a big score in Chula Vista. The remaining 4 team members are all collegians. Isaac
Murphy of Texas, the 2012 Big 12 champs, and Dakotah Keys, the current Pac-12 champ, both have career 8000
marks. Wichita State’s Austin Bahner and Northern Iowa’s Dan Gooris both had solid college campaigns.
Germany’s Team Zehnkampf, will send European champion Pascal Behrenbruch, Rico Freimuth and
Michael Schrader to the World champs in Moscow. The current German Thorpe Cup team is deep, many coming off
the high scoring meeting in Ratingen in early June.
2011 winner Simon Hechler (8058) was unable to finish the Ratingen qualifier and was a wild card pick.
And the remaining team is deep and talented. 27 year old Arhur Abele, finally free from 4 seasons of nagging
injuries, is healthy again and the 2008 Olympian posted an 8151 mark in Ratingen. Reliable Mattias Prey, 24,
managed a 8215 effort in Ratingen giving Team Zehnkampf a trio of recent 8’s.
Manhattan College and IC4A champ Tom Bechert was added to the team as was Patrick Spinner, Rene
Stauss and Max Gilde. All are experienced.
As always, there is no way to forecast the outcome of this meet.
There are five reasons why the visiting German team will be favored:
-experience: a pair of former Thorpe Cup winners (Abele and Hechler)
-they have a timing advantage since it is now the height of the German CE season and late for the
Americans who peaked for the NCAAs and USA nationals last month.
-Team Zehnkampf has a 3 year win streak and will be hungry to extend the run to four. Last year’s
margin was substantial.
- Team Zehnkampf returns two of their 2012 winning lineup.
There are five reasons why team USA will be favored:
-experience in the names of Harlan and Horn, both of who have had substantial international
success in the past. Harlan’s eight USA international teams and leadership will prove invaluable.
-Team USA has 4 seasoned, high scoring collegians.
-History: Team USA has on 13 of the 19 previous meetings..
-The weather conditions in Chula Vista have to be significantly better than at the USA nationals in Des
Moines.
-It’s time to bring the Cup home.
Nothing is ever taken for granted at the Thorpe Cup and it is always hotly contested. In 1999 the meet was
decided by a miniscule, microscopic, tiny, infinitesimal, atomic…(you get the picture!) five points. One German
coach described the margin as “a puff of wind.” It was the closest team match anywhere in decathlon history. In
2010 Team Zehnkampf won by two puffs of wind, just 13 points out of a total score of over 77,000. The 2006
winning USA margin in Manhattan was a mere 57 points. This one shapes up as very close. It’ll be no 1993
“Shellacken in Aachen.” It’s always intense, and that’s why it’s the planet’s best team affaiur.
Thorpe Cup History
Now the world’s most important nation vs. nation team decathlon, this meet has
been variously called the VISA CUP Meet or the JEEP Challenge. And in 2007 officially took
the name of The Thorpe Cup in honor of 1912 Olympic Decathlon Champion Jim Thorpe,
Carlisle, PA
Page 3
The concept of an annual team match was initially conceived by VISA-USA team coach Harry Marra and
Team Zehnkampf coach Claus Marek in 1993. This is the 20th of a series of annual international team decathlons
between the USA and Germany. The US teams holds a 13-6 W-L advantage, but the German team has won the most
recent three matches (‘10,’11,’12).
In the current series, the first meeting was arranged in Aachen, Germany in 1993 where Stefan Schmid of
Germany and the VISA USA team were victorious. The American team won 6 of the initial 7 team battles. One, the
1999 affair, also in Aachen was decided by a mere 5 points. Team USA got back on the winning side in 2002 with a
major win in Walnut, CA, led by Tom Pappas and repeated in 2003 in Bernhausen. The 2004 meet, scheduled for
Kansas State U, was cancelled by the German federation (DLV) in June, 2004.
In 1996, with the meet in Edwardsville, IL, the USA squad set a world 5 man team record averaging 8121.4
points per man.
Only Kip Janvrin, Mike Maczey and Pappas have won the individual title more than once. See below.
In the years before the current series, USA and German decathlon teams met twice. Team USA won both,
with Bruce Jenner getting a world leading score in 1974 in Tallinn, Estonia (tri meet: USA/USSR/ Germany). Team
USA won again in 1983 in Baton Rouge, LA. So, counting the two earlier team meetings, the Americans hold a
historical 15-6 national team advantage.

Jamie Cook, a 10-year Ivy League veteran coach and a former Big Ten decathlon champion,
joined the Oregon staff in the summer of 2010. Cook oversees the men's and women's combined
events as well as the men's and women's high jump, hurdles and pole vault.
In 2012, Cook coached a pair of Pac-12 champions in Dakotah Keys (decathlon) and
Johnathan Cabral (110 hurdles). Prior to Oregon, Cook was been the top men's assistant coach at the
University of Pennsylvania from 2001-10. During his tenure with the Quakers, Cook coached 64 Ivy
League champions, oversaw seven school records, and helped Penn capture a pair of team titles
(2001-02). The Quakers placed 11th at the 2003 NCAA Championships. He was also the combined
events coordinator for the prestigious Penn Relays for 10 years. In conjunction with his coaching duties, Cook developed training programs with an emphasis on speed development
that have been used by Olympians, as well as players from the NFL, Major League Baseball and English Premier
Soccer League. Cook's speed training was also utilized by Penn's reigning Ivy League champion football team. Prior to joining the Quakers' staff, Cook was a three-time All-American in the decathlon for Penn State
from 1995-98, where he was also a Big Ten, IC4A and Penn Relays champion in the multi-events during his
collegiate career. Cook was additionally honored as a three-time Academic All-American while competing for the Nitany
Lions. He was a 2004 U.S. Olympic Trials competitor in the decathlon, and competed in six USA Track & Field
combined events (decathlon/indoor heptathlon) from 2002-05. Cook also represented the United States versus
Germany in the Decathlon Duel of 2003. His personal best in the decathlon of 7,853 points came during his 2004
Olympic Trials year. Cook graduated from Penn State with a degree in kinesiology in 1999 and then in 2006, completed his
work in the executive education program at Penn's Wharton School of Business with a concentration in
finance/accounting. Cook and his wife Kristin are the parents of two children, a son and a daughter.
Assistant Coach- Travis Geopfert, University of Arkansas Travis Geopfert is in his 10th overall year as a collegiate track and field coach, and fourth season as the
Razorbacks’ field events coach and recruiting coordinator. Prior to joining the Arkansas staff, he
spent six years at the University of Northern Iowa where he served as the head coach of the men’s
and women’s cross country and track and field programs during the 2008-09 season. In nine seasons
of coaching, Geopfert has coached three NCAA national champions, 42 All-Americans, 72 NCAA
national qualifiers, 58 conference champions and 98 all-conference performers. His resume also
includes 26 USA Championships and Olympic Trials qualifiers, two World Championships
qualifiers and one Olympian.
Under Geopfert’s watch, the Razorback multi-event competitors emerged on all levels.
Kevin Lazas was the 2013 NCAA indoor heptathlon champion and Lazas and Gunnar Nixon both earned All-
America honors in 2012 with respective NCAA finishes of third and eighth indoors and third and fifth outdoors.
Lazas also won the SEC title in the decathlon to become the first Razorback to accomplish that feat. Lazas and
Nixon also rewrote the Arkansas records with Lazas scoring 7,955 points in the decathlon and Nixon setting the
school, world junior and American junior record in the heptathlon with 6,022 points..
Also during the 2010 season, Geopfert mentored professional athlete Joe Detmer to become the 66th
decathlete in American history to score over 8,000 points. Detmer finished third at the USA Championships with a
career-best point total of 8,009 points.
He was selected as the decathlon coach for the 2009 USA vs. Germany Thorpe Cup by USA Track and
Field. Geopfert, with Mario Sategna of the University of Texas’ men’s track and field staff, lead Team USA’s
decathletes to a victory over Team Germany. Members of Team USA included three-time Olympian Tom Pappas,
2004 Olympian Paul Terek and three-time Thorpe Cup qualifier Detmer. Geopfert, himself, was a three-time
participant in the Thorpe Cup (2003, 2005, 2006). Additionally, Geopfert coached three of the 19 decathletes at the
2008 USA Olympic Trials in Cepeda, Clark and Detmer.
Originally from Panora, Iowa, Geopfert earned his bachelor’s degree from UNI in 2002. He, his wife Nicole
and son Jones, reside in Fayetteville.
