“Justin has become the best high school 400 runner in the U.S., but that’s not his goal. His goal is to be the best 400 runner, period. For the first time in my coaching career, one of my athletes has a legitimate chance to be an Olympian. It’s no guarantee, but the talent, work ethic, focus and intangibles are all there.”
Tim Levine
Head Coach - Hazelwood West coach

Athletic Excellence


The 5-foot-8, 148-pound junior won three individual events and anchored the winning 4x200 relay quartet at the Class 5 state meet this past season, leading the Wildcats to the state championship as a team. Robinson won the 100-meter dash with a time of 10.56 seconds, the 200 in 21.96 and the 400 in a state-meet record 46.30. His season-best clocking of 44.84 in the 400 ranked as the nation’s No. 1 performance among prep competitors in 2019 at the time of his selection. That time also ranks No. 2 in American prep history.

Academic Achievement


Robinson has maintained a B average in the classroom. He will begin his senior year of high school this fall.

Exemplary Character


Robinson has volunteered locally as a mentor for younger athletes.
