Although the strongest tradition of success for Adams State comes in the form of distance runners, Curt Christensen was able to flourish and show the nation that Adams State was much more than that. As a triple jumper, Christensen captured three RMAC crowns from 1985-87. His jump at the 1987 conference meet of 51' set a school record that stood for 27 years. His individual success played a vital role in Adams State claiming conference championships during all three of those seasons.
At the 1986 NAIA Indoor Track & Field Championships in Kansas City, Mo. he captured a national title in the triple jump with a distance of 49' 5.25". At that meet, Adams State recorded 67 team points to finish second. Away from athletic competition, Christensen was named a NAIA Scholar-Athlete in 1987.
