With all the attention rightly focused on Tauranga's Joseph Millar breaking two national sprint records at the NZ Track and Field National Championships held in Hamilton over the weekend, the performance by Amy Robinson in the 400m was overlooked.
The fact the Tauranga Ramblers athlete won a bronze medal is reason enough to celebrate her achievement but no athlete running in Saturday's 400m final had quite the build-up that Robinson had.
The versatile athlete who has represented New Zealand in athletics, beach volleyball and hockey spent the morning training with the Black Sticks women's hockey team in Auckland ahead of the test series against USA next weekend in Rangiora.
Then she made a mad dash down the motorway to get to Porritt Stadium in time.
There was an inkling of what was to come in the heats on Friday when she ran a controlled race to finish third in a time of 59:16 and qualify for the final automatically.
