Kym Orr, Fredonia: NCAA DIII Athlete Hall of Fame, Class of 2023

Kym Orr raised the bar so high for NCAA Division III high jumpers that very few athletes have been able to reach it nearly four decades later. He set two NCAA DIII records as a senior in 1985: his first came indoors when he topped 2.21m (7-3) at the Fredonia State Early Season Open in January; then, he cleared 2.24m (7-4¼) at the SUNYAC Outdoor Championships for a still-standing division best. Between those feats, Orr made history when he won the first men’s high jump title ever awarded at the NCAA DIII Indoor Championships.
