Bio

Kellon is one of the most decorated track and field athletes in Goucher history. She earned nine conference championships (six outdoor, three indoor) and five second-place finishes from 2009-13 for the Blue and Gold. She was the first athlete in track and field history to win five conference titles and the first female to win four titles in the same event for four years with the 400m hurdles. The Cleveland Heights, Ohio, native, was named the Landmark Conference Female Track Athlete of the Year after winning the 400m, the 400m hurdles, and participating in the winning 4x400m relay and the second-place 4x100m relay. She holds Gopher outdoor records in the 400m, 400m hurdles, and the 4x400m relay, and indoor records in the 300m, 400m, and 500m. She finished her standout career with 16 career medals after also earning a pair of third-place finishes.  

"Being a member of the track and field team exposed me to some wonderfully kind, generous, and fun people," said Kellon. "Running helped build my self-confidence, gave me something to look forward to every weekend, and I am greatly honored to be inducted into the Hall of Fame."
