After taking 4th at the 2017 USAs outdoors, Robinson took the 2018 USA championship men’s high jump title with a Jump of 2.31m
In 2017, he repeated his 2015 feat finishing 4th at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Fourth place is normally considered the worst position because it just misses qualifying for subsequent competitions, however in 2017, due to Erik Kynard already holding a bye as Diamond League Champion, Robinson advanced to the 2017 World Championships.
