Noah Robinson, a senior at Community Christian School, is known for his remarkable dedication and involvement in various sports and school activities. He was a triple threat on the athletic field, participating in Cross Country, Basketball, and Track.
Reflecting on his favorite memory, Robinson fondly recalled, “Sophomore year’s state-run in basketball that was one of the most exciting and crazy couple of weeks in my life with such a special group of guys.”
Cross Country was another pivotal chapter in Robinson’s life. “Cross Country sort of forced me to flip my mentality toward working hard and pushing through,” he shared. This shift in mindset filled all aspects of his life, from academics to relationships.
In addition to sports, Robinson highlighted the teachers who had left a lasting impact. He fondly remembered Mr. Renteria, a Christian influence during his 5th-grade years, and in high school, Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Bell, whom he considered more as friends than teachers. Family, however, remained Robinson’s greatest influence. “Being the youngest, I was born to look up to my brother and sister, and my parents, too,” he acknowledged, emphasizing the importance of their guidance and example.
Robinson’s journey in Cross Country was made memorable by the support of his teammates, Carter Craig and Levi Haynes, who welcomed and encouraged him, even when speed wasn’t his forte. The team’s pre-race prayers, a cherished tradition, allowed him to freely represent his faith.
Coach Kolok’s simple yet impactful mantra, “Just go run!” kept Robinson on track, both literally and figuratively. This daily reminder pushed him to complete many runs he might otherwise have avoided.
Beyond sports and school, Robinson ran a successful lawn care business, was actively involved in a discipleship and serving group at his church, and embraced every opportunity to contribute to his community.
As he looked back on his journey, Noah was quick to express his gratitude “I really don’t think often enough about how great of people I am surrounded by and what a privilege that is.” From his family to his coaches, teachers, and friends, he was thankful for the support system that had shaped him into the remarkable young man he had become.
