Robinson is a native of Bristol, Conn. Besides track and field, she also was a member of the Haverford women's basketball team. Last season, Robinson was named the Centennial Conference's Defensive Player of the Year and was named to the All-CC Second Team. She averaged 13 points, 14.3 rebounds, and 2.6 steals per game.
