The Grizzly track and cross-country teams are coached by Damon Martin, winner of 20 National Coach of the Year awards. Martin was inducted into Adams State's Hall of Fame in 2007, and the Colorado Running Hall of Fame in 2015. In 2018, he was inducted into the USTFCCCA Hall of Fame.[7] 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.[8]
