Robinson Athletic Hall of Fame
1986 Softball Team ………………………………………………………………………. 22-24
Home of Champions The Robinson Athletic Hall of Fame Robinson Secondary School is known in Northern Virginia as “The Home of Champions” and it is a well deserved accolade for both State Championship teams, great Coaches, and outstanding athletes. After more than 40 years of athletic excellence, a group of present and past staff members decided it was time to recognize this excellence and establish the Robinson Athletic Hall of Fame. Due to the sheer numbers of State Championship teams and athletes who have been recognized as All Region, All Met, All State, and All-Americans, It was necessary to prioritize the eligibility of worthy candidates. The Committee decided that for the first 5 years of inductions, Coaches must be retired and athletes will have been graduated for 15 years. In addition, first consideration for induction would be given to those with any combination of: multiple All State/Met selections, multiple State Championships, professional careers. After 5 years, the criteria for selection will reviewed by the Committee.
2014 Induction Ceremony
The Robinson family is pleased to honor our Hall of Fame Inductees. A plaque with their picture and accomplishments will proudly be displayed on the “Wall of Fame” at Robinson so that current and future Ram athletes can see firsthand why our school is called the Home of Champions. Who knows how many young people will walk past each day and say to themselves, “I will be on this wall someday.”
