Where did Justin Robinson disappear to?? All that potential in high school 5 years ago.
He ran 44.47 last year for 4th at USA's last year just barely missing qualifying for WC.
He also got 4th in NCAA outdoor with 44.51.
Definitely still a contender, but not really an international medal threat. His 200m times are also pretty slow for a sprinter. Can barely get below 20.5

He's been progressing well! 44.91 in the COVID senior year, then '21 was unattached (45.00 SB) and he settled in at ASU in '22. Never dominant in the PAC 12 (4th in '22, 3rd in '23) and finished in the prelims of a few NCAA meets (prelims '22, 9th 23i), but broke through last summer with a 4th at NCAAs on June 9 (44.51) and another 4th at USAs on July 8 (44.47). Anchored the Mixed 4x4 to Gold in Budapest and ran on the winning Mens 4x4 as well.

this is a weird way to put it. robinson is doing fine over at arizona and will probably go pro after this year. he’s a double world champion with 2 gold medals to his name already and will likely run under 44 this year. he had a rough transition into college but now it’s working out quite well.
Wait, I thought 45.19 was the national HS record, what is the difference between the rest of these times?
I think the NFHS is only for marks achieved in HS only competitions. Track & Field News HS records are for those achieved while in high school (regardless of the competition), including the summer before starting college.
