He was even better in the heptathlon, placing second, picking up a career-best 5,167 points and scoring eight for the Big Red. He won the heptathlon long jump the following week at the Indoor IC4As, and he placed fifth overall with 5,060 points to score four more for Cornell. He scored 5,167 points in the heptathlon during the indoor season, a score that is now the third-best ever at Cornell.

As a Junior (2010-11)

He also scored 3,319 points in the pentathlon which is sixth best in school history. At the Ivy league Outdoor Championships he scored 6,675 points in the decathlon, almost a 400-point improvement from the previous season. He was aided by personal records in both the 100m (11.06) and the pole vault (14'1"). That score placed him third at the Heps and moved Formica up to fourth all-time at Cornell.

As a Sophomore (2009-10)
