The following information was taken from the Hall of Fame program published at the time of induction. Some editing was required:
A truly outstanding performer with the men's track and field team, Kym Orr had an incredible four-year college career at Fredonia State. An All American high jumper as a freshman, Mr. Orr went on to set an NCAA high jump record and win the national championship in that event as a senior in 1985. This seven-time SUNYAC champion also finished first in the high jump three times and first in the triple jump three times at the New York State Track & Field Association championships. A four-time All American, Mr. Orr set every Fredonia State, SUNYAC, and NYST&FA record in the high jump. His jump of 7 feet 4 1/4 inch is a New York State record that may remain unbroken for a good many years to come. He earned degree in Sociology in 1986 and was working as assistant director of the Higher Education Opportunity Program at Cazenovia College at the time of his induction in 1991.
