Dallas Robinson
Originally from Winterhaven, Florida, Dallas grew up in Kentucky where he graduated from Oldham County High School. Following High School, Dallas went to Morehead State University where he started 7 games at Free Safety for the football team and placed 3rd in the Ohio Valley Conference Championship in both the indoor 60m and outdoor 100m dashes.
After his freshman year at Morehead, Dallas transferred to Eastern Kentucky where he gave up the gridiron to focus on track. While at EKU, Dallas placed in the top 3 in the conference championship 23 times, won the indoor 60m and 200m, and outdoor 100m and 200m dashes, two times each for a total of 8 conference championship crowns. Additionally, he qualified for the NCAA Regional meet all three of his years at EKU, garnered 3 conference ‘Athlete of the Week’ nominations, and was recognized as the “Athlete of the Year” by the coaches of the OVC. Dallas also holds the EKU indoor 200m record and ranks amongst the top three all-time performers in school history in two other events.
Following graduation, Dallas took 18 months away from the sport only to return to competition at a local track meet called the Bluegrass State games. Despite very little training leading up to the meet, Dallas broke the all time meet record running a 10.33 into a strong headwind. Dallas joined the HPC Elite Team in the winter of 2007. He quickly improved his performances to world class status, earning himself the leading story of the New York Times sports section on March 6, 2008. Under the guidance of HPC coaching and management, Dallas produced the world’s fastest 55m in 2008 (6.10) and world ranked indoor performances in the 60m (6.64) and 200m (21.10) races.
