From northwest Pennsylvania, DeLoma ("Fawn") attended Lakeview High School in Stoneboro before heading for the Sunshine State and the University of Florida. While competing for the Gators, Fawn took home four All-American honors and was the 2014 NCAA National Champion in the javelin throw, all while attaining a degree in Criminology. With her eyes set forward, Fawn says, "Ever since I was 12 years old, I have dreamed about going to the Olympics, and I will do everything in my power to achieve this dream."

Fawn's route to the podium took a detour when she was 19. Her track and field career was nearly ended after a serious motorcycle accident, from which she suffered injuries to her right foot, which she now has a reduction in her first metatarsal, as well as a reduction of her lisfranc ligament. She relays, "It was by far one of the worst times in my life, but I wouldn't change what happened to me, because it made me the person and athlete I am today." Fawn's family, friends, coaches, and fans have given her the support and determination to continue to achieve through adversity.

Time away from the track is often spent with nature. Fawn describes herself as "very outdoorsy," and she loves kayaking, fishing, four wheeling, and snowboarding. Currently working part-time with Gainesville Health and Fitness, Fawn keeps everything in perspective, telling us, "No matter what I am doing I will always try to have fun doing it because life is good!"
