Penn State Harrisburg Athletics Hall of Fame
One of the most consistent and successful student-athletes in Penn State Harrisburg history, Cameron Yon reached the pinnacle of college athletics when he capped his illustrious career by capturing the NCAA Division III National Championship in the discus throw in the spring of 2019. The first national champion in school history, he burst onto the scene as a freshman in 2016 when he finished third in the discus at the NCAA Outdoor Championships that spring, earning his first all-America honor in the process. The Patuxent River, Md. native qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships four times and secured three USTFCCCA All-America honors during his career. Thanks to a record-breaking senior campaign, he was named the USTFCCCA Mid-East Regional Athlete of the Year, the Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) Male Athlete of the Year and the CAC Outdoor Co-Field Athlete of the Year. Yon earned six USTFCCCA All-Region honors, won a pair of CAC Championships and added two ECAC Titles during his career. He holds program records in five events, including the indoor shot put (14.65m) and weight throw (16.88m), as well as the outdoor shot put (13.94m), discus throw (56.27m) and hammer throw (51.10m).
