Five former athletes and a previous national runner-up baseball team from Emporia State have been inducted into the Emporia State’s Athletic Hall of Honor.

“The inductees will join a group of 175 former student athletes, coaches and administrators, and 13 teams who have distinguished themselves, the university and their professions through their athletic achievement,” said a press release from Athletic Media Relations.

Cindy Cameron, an Ottawa native, was an NAIA All-American in cross country and track. In 1988, she was the national runner-up in the mile at the NAIA National Indoor Track and Field Championships. Cameron’s career did not slow down, and in 2013 she placed third in the USATF Masters Cross Country Championships.

Bill Favrow, a Kansas City native, was a three-sport athlete for ESU. He placed third nationally in shot put in 1962, and was champion three times at the Central Intercollegiate Conference. In the same year he set the school record at 54-09.00 for shot put and is still currently ranked fifth all-time at ESU. He played for the ESU football team for four years and lettered one year for the basketball team.

David Harris was the 2001 Women’s NCAA Division II National Track and Field Coach of the Year and 11-time MIAA Coach of the Year. The Hornets established themselves as a nationally prominent NCAA Division II team in track and cross country under Harris’ guidance. The Hornets also won ten MIAA team championships in his time.

Dontaye McCoy, a Wichita native, was a three-time All-American in 1999-2002 for the Hornet football team. He was a first-team AP Little All-American, AFCA All-American and Football Gazette All-American. He won the Emporia State Male Student-Athlete of the Year twice and led the Hornets to the 2002 Mineral Water-Bowl Championship.

These inductees will be awarded at 8 a.m. Oct. 12 at the annual Hall of Honor Breakfast in Webb Hall in Memorial Union.
