History
Christie began competing at the collegiate level of Track and Field after graduating from Grossmont High School while at Cuyamaca College in Rancho San Diego, CA where he was initially a decathlete. He was introduced to racewalking by the Cross Country coach at Cuyamaca, Tim Seaman. He quickly picked up the sport and began competing at the national and international levels almost immediately. From there, he transferred to Missouri Baptist University in St. Louis, Missouri under the direction of coach Tish Hanna and to join NAIA standouts and rising US stars Alex Chavez and Molly Josephs.[2]
