Darrell Yohn ended his Adams State career as a 3-time All-American, 3-time RMAC Champion, and a NAIA National Champion in 1982 at the 190 weight class. His national title was one of three for Adams State in 1982 as the program finished as the national runner-up with 88.75 points. His first All-American nod came in 1979 as Yohn placed 7th overall at the national meet in Wheeling, West Virginia. His second nod came in 1981 by virtue of a 3rd place finish at the national meet in Edmond, Oklahoma.
