Biography

Robinson is from Quincy, Florida and attended Lincoln High School from 2012 to 2016.[2] At the 2016 class 3A Florida High School Athletic Association state championship, she finished 3rd in both the 100 metres hurdles and 300 metres hurdles.[2][6]

Following high school, Robinson joined the Charleston Southern Buccaneers track and field team for the 2016–17 season, winning the Big South Conference outdoor championships in the 4 × 100 m relay.[2][7] She then transferred to the North Carolina A&T Aggies track and field program for the rest of her collegiate career from 2018 to 2021.[8]

At North Carolina AT&T, Robinson qualified for the 2021 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the 100 metres hurdles and advanced to the finals with a runner-up finish in her semi-final.[1] At the finals, she fell on the last hurdle and had to walk to the finish, placing 8th in 29.11 seconds.[9][10] Nonetheless, by qualifying for the finals she scored one point for North Carolina AT&T and was described as playing a role in the team's legitimacy.[11]

Following the NCAA Championships, Robinson competed at the 2021 United States Olympic trials. She qualified for the 100 m hurdles finals and finished 9th in 12.99 seconds.[1][12] After failing to make the team, Robinson ran the European professional track circuit over the summer, including winning a silver medal at the Hungarian Athletics Grand Prix and a bronze in the 2021 Anniversary Games 4 × 100 m.[13]

Robinson is now an assistant coach for the North Carolina Wesleyan Battling Bishops track and field program.[5]
