NEW WORLD RECORD Ashton Eaton set a world record of 9,039 points in the decathlon Saturday in Eugene. Eaton beat Roman Sebrle’s 11-year-old mark by 13 points. The 24-year-old Oregon product needed a time of 4 minutes, 16.37 seconds in the 1,500 — the 10th and final event — to break the mark at the school’s Hayward Field. He finished in 4:14.48. “Going into London, I’m not going to change a thing,” Eaton said. Former Bishop Kelly athlete Corbin Duer finished 15th in the event with 6,584 points.
