In its 40th year of honoring the nation’s most elite high school athletes, Gatorade announced that Jasmine Robinson of North Cobb will repeat as the Gatorade Georgia Girls Track and Field Player of the Year. This highlights her performance on the track and in the classroom.
Robinson excelled in multiple hurdle races as she set a state record in the 300-meter hurdles at the Arcadia Invitational in California this past season, with her time of 39.81 seconds ranking her 2nd nationally among prep girls competitors this spring and 3rd in prep history. Another state record she set was in the 400-meter hurdles at the Mark Trail Memorial Day Meet in Stockbridge, Georgia, posting a time of 56.73 seconds in that race. That time ranked her at No. 4 nationally in that event.
Robinson’s head coach Josh Shaw spoke highly about her contribution to the team’s success.
“Well beyond the fact that you know she’s going to score close to 30 team points each meet, she is the ultimate competitor”, Shaw said. “She leads by example and her work ethic is off the charts. Teammates see how hard she works to be great and that influences them to do the same”.
In the classroom, Robinson has been outstanding as she has maintained a 4.52 weighted GPA. Along with that, she has volunteered locally for her school’s Rally Club as she supports finding a cure for childhood cancers. Robinson is also a member of North Cobb’s Beta Club where she has given her time to help with community cleanup projects.
She will receive a grant to donate to a social impact partner as part of Gatorade’s commitment to breaking down barriers in sport.
