As a Sophomore (2012-13)
After spending all of his freshman season in the multi events, Athanasopoulos specialized in the long jump in his second year on campus. The sophomore had a seasonal best of 23' 1 3/4" at the Kane Invite in February. He also ran the 60 hurdles four times during the year, finishing in a season-best 8.68 seconds twice.

As a Freshman (2011-12)
Athanasopoulos showed promise in the decathlon starting with his sixth-place performance at the Outdoor Heptagonal Championship. He scored 6,468 points -- setting a school freshman record and good enough for 10th all-time at Cornell -- and was the second-best freshman finisher. He did even better the following week at the IC4A Outdoors, taking fifth place in a larger field and scoring four points for Cornell. After the year, he competed at the US Junior National Championships in the decathlon, placing 10th.
