Some consider the NCAA Champion in the decathlon as the best athlete in the country, and in 1998, Klaus Ambrosch was the best athlete in the country. Scoring 7,825 points at the 1998 NCAA Championships in Buffalo, New York, he won the decathlon, which at the time was the sixth-most points any decathlete has scored in Arizona history. Klaus is one of just three National Champion decathletes in Arizona history, who has been competing in Track & Field since the early 1930s.
