A Decade of Sun Devil Individual Champions
Back in 2003, Alejandro Canizares (men's golf), Eric Larkin (149-pound wrestler) and men's diver Joona Puhakka (1m) notched national titles.
The Sun Devils have not slowed down since to the tune of 37 NCAA individual titles in the past decade.
Women like Jacquelyn Johnson (track and field), Ashley Kelly (balance beam in 2004) and Amy Hastings (5,000m) picked up trophies a year later. Anthony Robles and Bubba Jenkins captured our attention in 2011 with wrestling titles and in the meantime Greg Kraft's track program has watched runners, jumpers and throwers add to the Sun Devil trophy case.
NCAA individual champions have come from men's golf, women's golf, wrestling, men's diving, gymnastics and both men's and women's track and field (both indoor and outdoor).
Check out the list below and get ready to read the name Jacquelyn Johnson a lot...
