Tony Cork
Hall of Fame – Induction Class of 2022
Coach Cork is a name synonymous with Robinson Cross Country and Track. It is also a name synonymous with helping student athletes be the best they can be. His coaching records and accomplishments are unmatched, but Coach Cork’s influence goes beyond the starting block or the finish line. His guidance stays with student athletes throughout life. That is why he is so deserving of this induction. It is not always about the victory; it is about giving your best, and that is exactly what Coach Cork does.
Joe Cunningham
Hall of Fame – Induction Class of 2022
Coach Joe Cunningham has been a staple in RHS athletics for 25 years. His involvement began in the fall of 1966 when he became an assistant on the RHS football team. He has been on the sidelines of Crosby Field every year since. Coach Joe also got involved with RHS wrestling in 2006. In his 15 years with the wrestling program, he was a constant presence and helped keep the program alive as it cycled through head coaches, even taking over as head coach for several years himself. Coach Joe is also heavily involved with the youth of the community and has been an FCA leader for 15 years.
With all of his coaching titles, community involvement, and personal accolades, his character, impact on students, and love for the youth make Coach Joe Cunningham truly special and deserving of this honor.
Dick Muston
Hall of Fame – Induction Class of 2022
Coach Muston is a passionate person who genuinely cares about every athlete he has ever coached. He treated everyone with dignity and respect and always wanted the best for every athlete, both on and off the floor. He achieved the rare feat of being extremely competitive while sincerely caring for everyone he encountered. Coach Muston coached at every level (Junior High, Freshman, Sophomore, and Varsity) for 38 years and served as head coach for six of those years. During his six years as head coach, he won three regional titles. Coach Muston came out of retirement to volunteer with the boys basketball program in 2008. Just a few years after rejoining, he helped the Maroons to the 2010 2A State Championship, offering strategy, support, and enthusiasm every night.
Coach Muston has positively impacted fellow coaches and student athletes throughout his career. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential coaches, and he has instilled Maroon Pride not only at Robinson High School but also throughout the community. Coach Dick Muston is truly deserving of this award, and we congratulate and thank him for his contributions and successes.
