2023

Competing in the NCAA Championships for the University of Texas in June 2023, Neugebauer set a new collegiate record for the decathlon, with a points tally of 8,836 points that placed him in the top-10 of all time. The previous collegiate record of 8720 was set by Kyle Garland in 2022. Neugebauer also broke the meet record of 8457 set by Ashton Eaton in 2010 and equalled by Ayden Owens-Delerme in 2022. He earned personal bests in seven of the ten events, and his tally would have been enough to triumph at the previous years’ World Athletics Championships. Neugebauer also took the German national record of 8832 set in 1984 by Jürgen Hingsen.
