Trey Hardee Withdraws From Decathlon With Injury
BEIJING - Two-time World champion and 2015 US champion Trey Hardee has withdrawn from the decathlon at the 2015 IAAF World Championships due to an injury.
The 31-year-old Hardee reportedly sustained a lower back injury while taking attempts in the long jump, although the extent of the injury was not immediately known. The Olympic silver medalist completed three of the 10 events in the decathlon before his withdraw, that being the 100m, shot put, and long jump.
"I'm devastated to have to withdraw from the competition. I tried everything to try to make it through but it just wasn't meant to be. I need to focus now on getting prepared for 2016 and what will be my final Olympic campaign," Hardee told USATF.
