Football
[edit]In 1987, Cameron defeated Carson–Newman (Tenn.) 30–2 to win the NAIA Division I Football National Championship.[3] Cameron had previously won a national championship as a junior college in 1961 as well, but the university discontinued football on December 11, 1992, to balance the number of sports offered to men and women, respectively.

After Cameron University made the switch to NCAA Division II, Hrnciar's teams have qualified in 1990, 1991, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2001, 2002, 2006, 2007, 2010, and 2011.
