Dunn won three individual conference championships and earned All-America honors as a senior. He helped the 1997 Rider wrestling team reach a national ranking of seventh in Division I. Three of the four teams he was a member of won a Conference Championship. 
“I was very excited when I got the call,” said Dunn.  “I was well aware of the Hall and the great wrestlers who are in there, and sometimes I wondered if I would ever get in.  My family was very happy to hear the news and has been making a big deal about it ever since.”
