Falconer pulled off a rare double in 1998, garnering All-America honors for his prowess as both an athlete and a student. He finished third overall and first among Americans in the decathlon at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in addition to garnering CoSIDA Academic All-America Third Team accolades. A native of York, Pa., Falconer won a pair of MAC titles in the indoor pentathlon (1996 & 1997) and another in the long jump during the 1998 outdoor championships. Named the Most Valuable Performer at the 1998 MAC Outdoor Championships, he was a six-time Academic All-MAC honoree and a member of the Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholars Award first team in 1996. Falconer still ranks first in the Kent State annals in decathlon (7,865 points) and indoor pentathlon (4,175 points).
