Liddell had success in both cross country and track, culminating at the state meet in both sports his senior year in high school and a college career as well.

He was a two-time district champion in cross country and took 10th at state as a senior.

In track as a senior, Liddell went undefeated all season, winning districts in the mile and two-mile, but chose to focus on the 3,200 at state and took sixth. He was Decatur Herald city track athlete of the year. He graduated as the Capitol Conference record-holder in both the 1,600 and 3,200.
Liddell ran in college at Purdue, where he was a four-year letterwinner in both track and cross country. He held the school record in the steeplechase for 29 years and still ranks fourth all-time. Liddell, who also graduated as the record-holder in the 1,600 at Purdue, won the prestigious Red Mackey Award his senior year.

Congratulations to Robin Liddell, you are now a Decatur Athletic Hall of Famer!
