"My number one is probably hockey, just because New Zealand is well recognised, but Anita Punt has just opened it up for people to do athletics and hockey at the same time, so hopefully I'll try to do that," said Robinson.
The compromises are already under way, with Robinson excused from Midlands Under-21 hockey sprints because of her athletics commitments. It is not as if she necessarily needs to train specifically to perform. She only does heptathlon once or twice a year and managed to add that age grade crown to her long jump, short hurdles, 300m hurdles and relay titles at the New Zealand Club Nationals in late February.
Robinson is one of a number of exciting female track athletes hailing from the Bay.
Indeed, the Bay has never had so many girls running this fast, this young. Robinson, fellow Tauranga Girls' student Abby Goldie, and Molly Florence train together regularly and are the three quickest for their age in the country.
With that sort of competition there is no telling how rapid or diverse Robinson's rise could be.
