Longtime Issaquah cross country coach Gwen Robertson is one of four coaches who will be inducted into the Washington State Cross Country Coaches Hall of Fame in 2013 at a ceremony in Everett on Friday, Jan. 28.

Robertson, who has been at Issaquah since 1983, helped the girls program to three state titles in the mid-1980s and a runner-up finish in 1989. Her teams have won more than a dozen KingCo and district titles.

Before coming to the prep ranks, Robertson was an accomplished athlete in her own right and made the U.S. National Team in Racewalking from 1983-86.

Jim Mclachan (East Valley-Spokane), Ron Fleming (Granger) and Sam Ring (Wilson-Tacoma) are the other inductees. The ceremony is at the Everett Holiday Inn at 6:45 as part of the Track & Field/Cross Country Annual Convention.
