Staking a claim: Jen Freemas has W35 American decathlon record
Jen Freemas of the San Francisco Coyotes competed in the same Texas meet where Dave Burton claimed an M45 American record in the decathlon. Turns out her decathlon mark is being reviewed for an AR as well. She’s 36, so she could be the W35 record-holder, according to Jeff Brower’s Google Doc. The women’s dec has the same events as men’s but a different order. Jen scored 4,795 points age-graded. It’s a modest total, but at least she’s given other women something to beat. I don’t know much about her. She apparently ran track for the University of Massachusetts a dozen years ago. She was a long hurdler and an Atlantic 10 Conference champion at least twice. The women’s dec: Day 1 is 100, discus, vault, javelin and 400. Day 2 is 100 hurdles, long jump, shot, high jump and 1500. Few masters women have done the dec, with the highest score — an incredible 10,234 by W65 Nadine O’Connor — recorded in 2009.
These were Jen’s marks in the Texas vs. The World meet in San Marcos.

Meet results didn’t get her name right. It’s Freemas, not Fremas. So here’s more data on Jen:
