Muthama's legend continues to this day, as the trackster is arguably one of the greatest to ever compete in the NAIA. Muthama was a three-time NAIA National Champion in the 5,000 meters, Bethel's only individual three-time champion in school history. At the 1976 KCAC Championships Muthama won and set meet records in four different events. Muthama continues to hold Bethel records in 1500m, 5000m and 3000m steeplechase and still holds the KCAC record in the 1500m set in 1977.
