Kon won the 1965 NAIA Singles National Championship en route to earning NAIA First Team All-American status. He finished as a semifinalist in the 1966 NCAA Singles Championship, and a quarterfinalist with Nitsche in the NCAA Doubles Championship. Kon helped the Broncs to the NAIA National Championships and Big State Conference Championships from 1963-65, as well as a sixth place finish at the 1966 NCAA Championships.
 
"I want to thank Pan American for the scholarship they gave me, because I spent some of the best years of my life here," Kon said. "In 1963, I was one of three Argentinians on the team who played for the same club in Buenos Aires. What were the odds of that?"
