Relentless Robinson going out in style

Is Bree Robinson sure that track isn't her favorite sport?

The Pinkerton senior, who will play soccer at University of Hartford, followed her stellar 2006-07 indoor season with another dynamite campaign.

At the Class L meet, she won the 55 meter-dash (7.32) — breaking the school record she set last year to win the event — and the long jump (18-01/2). Not to be outdone, Robinson went on to capture the long jump title (18-21/2) and place seventh in the 55 (7.42) at New Englands.

Robinson's accomplishments are even more impressive considering the Class Ls were held on Super Bowl Sunday, a month before New Englands.

"I look at it this way," she said after her win in the long jump, "I'm a senior and I'm playing soccer in college. I should take every chance I can get."

Robinson will likely end her track career with a flurry this spring. Last year she rolled to the state heptathlon title with 4,113 points, just 20 points shy of the 22-year-old area record.
