Running career

=High school=

While running for San Ramon Valley High School, Bauhs improved every year. As he improved, he had the smaller Division I schools recruiting him in his junior year.{{cite web |url=http://racingnews.runnersworld.com/2009/10/a-brief-chat-with-scott-bauhs.html |title=Hearst Magazines |website=racingnews.runnersworld.com |access-date=February 4, 2012}} He signed with Chico State, but at the end of his senior season, after he finished second at the CIF California State Meet in the 3200 meters,[http://archive.dyestatcal.com/ATHLETICS/TRACK/2004/stat_res.htm Athletics Track 2004] there were much bigger schools such as Oregon that were interested.

=Collegiate=

Bauhs decided to stay at Chico, and there he became one of the most successful Division 2 collegiate athletes in history. He amassed eight All-Americans honors.[http://www.usatf.org/Athlete-Bios/Scott-Bauhs.aspx Scott Baughs athlete bio] . USATF (February 4, 2012). Retrieved on February 4, 2012. He also won three national titles.

During the 2007 track season, Bauhs beat Nicodemus Naimaduwikirun.com/Nicodemus_Naimadu of Abilene Christian to win the 10k title. Naimadu was previously undefeated. Later on, Bauhs broke the four-minute-mile barrier, and American Age Group Records in the half-marathon. He also broke the NCAA Division II American records in the 5k and 10k.{{cite web |url=http://www.mammothtrackclub.com/speaker/526-Scott-Bauhs |title=Scott Bauhs | Speakers and more | Mammoth Track Club |accessdate=2012-02-04 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20120906113228/http://www.mammothtrackclub.com/speaker/526-Scott-Bauhs |archivedate=September 6, 2012 |df=mdy-all }}.
