LePage promptly cleared 1.99m on his first attempt, racking up valuable points in the standings. I was in lane one so it felt like it was pretty tight. LePage is in first with 6,427 points, followed by Ayden Owens-Delerme of Puerto Rico who has 6,309 points. I was trying to stay in my lane. He laid on there for a number of minutes before being helped up. It's a full two metres farther than his previous best throw in the event. That's when LePage was able to post a personal-best time of 46.84 in the 400m to close out day one and shoot him up the standings to second. In the long jump event, LePage, who has a personal best distance of 7.80m, posted a result of 7.54m. That was a season-best distance for LePage and gave him 945 points for a total of 1,946. I felt my hamstring pull a couple of times. LePage ran the 400m in a time of 46.84 to put himself within striking distance of gold going into the final day. In the latest event, LePage fired the discus a whopping 53.26 metres to rocket to the top of the leaderboard. On Saturday night, LePage finished day one of competition with his best-ever performance in the 400 metres to go from fifth to second.
