Norberto Segura was a standout distance runner for the Weber State men's track and field and cross country teams from 1977-80. He won six Big Sky individual titles, including the same event a record four times, and was a part of two teams that captured championships.

A native of Mexico, Segura came to Weber State as a freshman in 1977 and won the Big Sky title in the six miles that year. He set and still holds the Big Sky record in the event at 29:47.6. The event was then changed to 10,000 meters and Segura won all three 10K championships from 1978-80.

He is one of just two Weber State men's athletes and one of seven athletes in Big Sky history to win the same event at four conference championships.

He also finished second twice and third once in the 5,000 meters at the conference meet.

In indoor track, Segura also claimed two conference championships, both coming in 1979, the first-ever Big Sky Indoor Championship. At that meet, he won the two-mile and three-mile titles and was named the Outstanding Athlete of the Meet. He also still holds the conference championship record in the three miles.

He helped lead the Wildcats and head coach Chick Hislop to the Big Sky team title at the 1979 indoor championships.

In cross country, he earned Big Sky All-Conference honors twice in 1978 and 1979. He was also a part of the Wildcat team that won the Big Sky title in 1977. The 'Cats finished second in 1978 and 1979.

He finished his career earning all-conference honors 11 times in track and field and cross country.
