Individual sports

Cross county and track

The Grizzly track and cross-country teams are coached by Damon Martin, winner of 20 National Coach of the Year awards. ASU's Men's cross-country team was the first team in history to record a perfect score at the National Championships in 1992. This was the first year Adams competed in NCAA Division II, after previously competing in the NAIA. The women's cross-country team won 15 National Championships between 1992 and 2009. 2016 World Indoor Champion Boris Berian ran for Adams during the 2012 track seasons, winning national championships for the 800m both indoors and outdoors.[4]

Football

The football team is run by Head Coach Josh Blankenship. He is currently in his fourth year with the Adams State Grizzly Football Team. Over the last two years the team has put up a 5-16 record rebuilding a program from the ground up. The football locker room is state of the art with electronic displays for film viewing and visual management of team roles and positions. The weight room is available for all Grizzly sports team athletes and was custom-designed for use in national advertising campaigns by the company that donated the weightlifting equipment.
