Fajoyomi was named Pac-12 Male Field Athlete of the Week (April 25-May 1) for his efforts in the Dual Meet. Placed ninth in the HJ (6-11.00), seventh in the TJ (49-6.50) and 17th in the LJ (22-8.50) at the Pac-10s. Tied for 25th at the NCAA Preliminary Rounds in Oregon with a clearance of 6-7 and did not advance to championships. Had a wind-aided PR of 50-6.25 in the triple jump at the NCAA Preliminary Rounds, but that was only good for 17th and he did not advance.
