His other top 10 finish on the first day was in the long jump with a leap of 20 feet, 8 3/4 inches, good for seventh place.

On day two, Mallett set a personal best in the javelin throw to finish seventh in the event. Mallett threw the spear 144 feet, 2 inches. He ended the event with a 10th place finish in the 1500-meter run in a time of 5:10.77. Mallett started day two with an eight place finish in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 15.77 seconds, another personal best.
