- Q6142283 abstract "James J. Robinson, Jr. (born August 27, 1954 in Oakland, California) is a former American middle distance runner. He was the dominant American 800 meters runner from the mid-1970s through the mid 1980s. He ran in the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Canada, finishing fifth in his semi-final and not making the final. He was on the ill fated 1980 U.S. Olympic team that did not get to compete due to the 1980 Summer Olympics boycott.His international achievements included a silver medal at the 1979 IAAF World Cup and 1981 IAAF World Cup and a gold medal at the 1979 Pan American Games. He also finished fifth in the 1983 World Championships in Athletics. Domestically he won the American title at 880 yard or 800 meters 7 times including five times in a row between 1978 and 1982. During that same period while Robinson was the best outdoors, he did not win a single Indoor title. The answer to this was that Robinson's strategy didn't work on the short straightaways indoors.Robinson's notable strategy was to come from behind, with the late rush on the home stretch always thrilling the crowd. When this strategy evaded him, it almost always looked like a mere strategic error, rather than being beaten by the competition. In the 1984 Olympic Trials in what may have been the most thrilling American 800 meter race ever, Robinson finished in fourth place, not making the team, while having exactly the same time as the third place qualifier John Marshall (1:43.92 - a lifetime best for both men). A step ahead, Earl Jones and Johnny Gray were breaking Rick Wohlhuter's American record (1:43.91) with each running the same time (1:43.74). See the race on YouTube Robinson ran for the Inner City Track Club after college.Robinson ran for McClymonds High School, finishing second in the 880 yards at the 1972 CIF California State Meet. Next he ran for Laney College, winning the conference and state championships at 880 yards both 1973 and 1974, his 1974 time of 1:45.7 set the National Junior College record for 800 meters and remains the Laney College record. His 47.5 440 yards from 1974 also remains the college record. He also anchored his team's mile relay which finished second and third those respective years. And he ran for the University of California at Berkeley, California where he is still #2 on the school's all time list and the anchor man of the school record 4x400 meters relay team (held since 1976, the first year the NCAA ran the metric distance).Robinson is currently an assistant Track and Cross Country coach at California State University, East Bay.".
