That year, Conley's 239' 11" throw in an NCAA meet made him collegiate javelin champion of the United States.

After finishing his career he served as a volunteer assistant coach at Stanford University, and also competed in masters events.

His wife, Frances Krauskopf-Conley was a prominent neurosurgeon, and the first woman to chair a major academic neurosurgery department in the United States.
