FORT WORTH, Texas - Former Flyin' Frog Khadevis Robinson was inducted into the TCU Letterman's Association Hall of Fame Thursday night at the Brown-Lupton University Union. Robinson was honored alongside Marshall E. Harris, J.J. Henry, Dennis Nutt, Michael Reeder and Rene Simpson to make up the 41st Class.

Robinson, who is considered one of the greatest 800-meter runners in track and field history, collected runner-up honors in the event with a time of 1:45.97 seconds at the 2009 USA Outdoor Championships, qualifying him for his sixth Team USA World Outdoor Championships squad. Last summer, Robinson was part of one of the most memorable moments of the 2008 USA Olympic Trials, when he and Christian Smith dove at the finish of the 800-meter finals, vying for the third Olympic Team spot. Robinson crossed the finish line in fourth-place. Earlier this season, Robinson captured his fourth USA Indoor Championship with a time of 1:48.61 seconds.

At TCU, Robinson won the 1998 NCAA Outdoor 800 meters to close his collegiate career. He still owns the Flyin' Frogs 800 meters record, clocking a time of 1:46.04 in 1998.

Robinson, who earned a degree in social work at TCU, won the 1999 USA Indoor Championships and was a finalist at the World Championships, both indoors and outdoors. In July of 2002, Robinson recorded the fourth fastest time in the world in the 800 meters in Finland, shattering his personal record with a time of 1:44.41 seconds. He continues to perform on the professional circuit and is one of the nation's top 800-meter runners, earning a trip to Athens, Greece for the 2004 Summer Olympics.

In August of 2006, Robinson helped shatter the American and world record in the 4x800 meters at the Memorial Van Damme meet with a time of 7:02.82. Despite shattering the previous world mark, the U.S. squad finished second to Kenya's time of 7:02.43.

Robinson concluded 2006 ranked No. 1 in the United States and No. 7 in the world in the 800 meters.
