Mattias Borrman

Title:
Volunteer Coach

Mattias Borrman, a native of Sweden, competed in the throwing events for Colorado State University from 1993-1996, setting 13 school records in the javelin, shot put, hammer, and 35lb weight. During his time at CSU, Borrman hit qualifying standards for the NCAA championships in all five throwing events and represented the Rams five times at this level, including a ninth place finish in the men's discus in Eugene, Oregon in 1996 as his career best performance in a meet where he also placed tenth in the hammer throw, narrowly missing out on the historically tougher standards for All-American honors. The prestigious Nye Trophy was awarded to Borrman in 1994 as the most outstanding male athlete at Colorado State University, and in 2005 he received the great honor of being inducted into the CSU Athletic Hall of Fame.

After graduation, Borrman married former teammate and 2004 CSU Hall of Fame inductee Shelly Greathouse, while his throwing career continued under Coach Bedard’s guidance, which lead to gold medals at the Swedish National Championships in the discus in 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2003, and a stint as captain of the Swedish National Track and Field team from 1997 through his retirement in 2003. The crowning achievements of his career were winning the discus competition in the historical Sweden-Finland dual meet in 1997, representing Sweden in the 1998 European Championships, and winning the discus competition at the 1999 European Cup First League.

Borrman served as a volunteer coach for CSU track and field during portions of his post-collegiate athletic career, and now returns in that capacity after coaching at the high school level for several years and, more recently, having resumed throwing activities as a Masters athlete.
