Hall of Fame
Growing up as a triplet with two identical sisters, Kimberly Bosen was able to distinguish herself as a runner. Running was fun for her from a young age; she clearly had passion and a talent. As a freshman Bosen proved she was one of the top runners in the RMAC. She won the RMAC Cross Country individual championship. A feat she would repeat as a sophomore in 1998. Bosen would be a three-time individual NCAA DII National Champion and 12-time All-American during her career at Adams State. She won all three of her national titles in 1999, (Indoor 5K, Outdoor 5K and Outdoor 10K). She helped ASU win NCAA team cross country titles in 1998 & 1999, (both teams are being inducted in the RMAC Hall of Fame this year). In 1999, she was the Grizzlies top finisher at the NCAA DII cross country championships, taking second place on a team with the lowest score in championship history. Bosen won 10 total individual RMAC titles and still holds the RMAC Championship record for the outdoor 5K (17:03.9) set in 1999. Bosen was RMAC Indoor Track Athlete of the Year in 2000 and was inducted in the Adams State Hall of Fame in 2011. After completing a missionary trip with her church, she went back to Arizona and pursued sports medicine and massage therapy where she continues to help others and spread enthusiasm and joy.
