FHSU Athletics

Track & Field, 1986-88
A native of Baileyville, Kansas, Steve Broxterman was the 1988 NAIA indoor national champion in the high jump as a senior, clearing a personal best 7 feet, 1 inch. That effort still owns a share of the indoor school record today, also cleared by Don Carter in 1985. He was the CSIC champion in the event that year as well. Overall, Broxterman was a two-time NAIA All-America performer, also earning the distinction in 1987. His best effort as a junior in 1987 was 6 feet, 10 inches. He was twice an all-conference performer and a four-time all-district performer. Broxterman's national title in 1988 helped the team to a fourth-place finish at indoor nationals. He was also a national qualifier in the high jump while he was at Highland (Kan.) Community College before transferring to FHSU for his final two years.
