Career

He set a national record in 1981, collecting 8,279 points at a meet in Baton Rouge, United States (1981-06-03). He bested this with a score of 8,291 points, set on June 23, 1983, which is still the national record. Steiner won the silver medal at the 1979 Pan American Games in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

He finished fourth at the 1975 Pan American Games and 22nd at the Montreal 1976 Summer Olympics. In 1977, while competing for Brigham Young University he earned All-American honors and the NCAA title with a score of 7,659 points. He went on to win the honor three more times, a rare athlete to achieve All-American all four competitive years. He set the national record while winning the Texas Relays in 1979, defeating the meet record by C.K. Yang.[1] He later improved upon the record in 1983 at Provo, but the meet was hand timed, common for all but the top level decathlons of that era. Decades later, hand timed marks are not as respected as fully automatic timing.

gollark: It is IN NO WAY subliminal pizza advertising because I DO NOT work for pizza companies in any form. __*This is NOT true*__. I have not in any way been sponsored by pizza companies. There have been no advertising agreements whatsoever with any companies producing pizza or otherwise to have me subliminally advertise pizza, as my profile picture is not a pizza. *Since it is not a pizza*, this is obviously not pizza advertisement whatsoever. No monetary exchanges or otherwise have occurred with companies engaged in pizza production for any reason relating to my profile picture. *It's not pizza.* There were no deals, under-the-table or otherwise, with pizza companies. No pizza companies pay for any kind of subliminal advertising involving me. **I'm DEFINITELY not** paid by pizza companies to have ANY subliminal pizza advertising, actually. It is not a pizza. People say that it's subliminal advertising for the delicious pepperoni pizza offered by PizzaCo, but really it's not. __It has never been a pizza__. My profile picture is not, will not, has not been and cannot be, in any way whatsoever, a pizza.
