Olivet College inducts three new members into Athletic Hall of Fame

OLIVET, Mich. – Olivet College inducted three new members into its Athletic Hall of Fame Friday, Oct. 28. The inductees were Robert Condon ’76, David Price ’68 and Brian Robinette ’94. They were also recognized the next day at halftime of the Comets' football game against Trine (Ind.) University.

Condon earned three letters in cross country and four letters in track at Olivet. In track, he was a four-time All-Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) selection, including the league’s Most Valuable Performer in 1976. Condon was the MIAA champion in the 440-yard run in 1973, 1974 and 1976, and the 880-yard run in 1975. He was also a part of the conference champion mile relay in 1973 and 1976. Condon still holds the MIAA record in all three events. During his four-year collegiate career, he was undefeated in 24 dual meets and all four conference championship meets.

Price earned three letters in football and served as a team captain in 1966 and 1967. He was also a member of the Adelphic Alpha Pi fraternity.

Robinette was a four-year letterwinner on the men’s golf team and helped the Comets win four straight MIAA championships. He was a three-time first-team All-MIAA selection (1990, 1991 and 1993). In addition, Robinette posted the league’s best stroke average all three years to earn MIAA medalist honors. A captain during his senior year, he became the first golfer in school history to earn All-American honors with an eighth-place finish at the 1994 NCAA Division III National Championships.
