DURHAM, N.C. – Duke Director of Track & Field and Cross Country Shawn Wilbourn has announced the addition of three to the men's multis unit for the 2021-22 season. Michael Bennett, Max Forte and Jackson Moseley will join the rapidly rising national pedigree of the Blue Devils' multis program, following fellow multis athlete Erin Marsh's third and fourth place finishes in the 2021 NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships, respectively.
"We are very excited about these three young decathletes," said Wilbourn. "They are all extremely well-rounded athletes with a ton of coordination and that bodes well for the combined events. The opportunity exists for all three of them to perform well at the NCAA level."
Michael Bennett

Hailing from Lakewood, Colo., Bennett becomes a Blue Devil following a decorated career at Lakewood High School. A Colorado state champion in the 300m hurdles, Bennett also notched league titles in the 100m hurdles and 300m hurdles. His efforts earned him the 2021 League Most Valuable Player award. Bennett was also a multiple All-Conference honoree in basketball and tennis. Bennett also comes from a decorated track & field family, as his mother was the 1987 NCAA Champion in the 5K, four-time team national champion and seven-time All-American while competing for the University of Texas, before a lengthy career as the Head Women's Track & Field Coach at Stephen F. Austin from 1992-94 and the Director of Track & Field and Cross Country at Wake Forest from 1999-2010. Bennett's father was an accomplished decathlete at Northern Colorado, who won the Division II national championship in the event in 1989, 1991 and 1992 before going on to coach as an assistant on his wife's staff at Stephen F. Austin and Wake Forest.

Forte joins the Blue Devils from Irvington, N.Y., and Irvington High School after a successful multi-sport career. A highly decorated athlete in the pentathlon, Forte was the Westchester County champion in the event and the Westchester County West Division Champion in the shot put and discus.
