It was a memorable 1973-74 track and field campaign for Steve Nichols. During that senior season for Nichols, he clocked a time of 49.5 seconds for an individual title in the 440 meter dash at the NAIA indoor championships in Kansas City, Mo. Earlier in the indoor season, he set a school record in the event (47.3) that still stands today.
The success translated into the outdoor season as Nichols was an RMAC champion in the 440 yard dash (48.7) and 880 yard run (1:59.0). His efforts helped secure a RMAC team championship as Adams State finished with 181 points; beating Colorado School of Mines by 49 points.
By the end of his collegiate eligibility, Nichols held RMAC records and titles in the 100 yard dash (9.8), 220 yard dash (21.8), and 440 yard dash. He was also a member of the RMAC record-setting mile relay (3:22.8).
