5 Things to Know About: Mychal Robinson

IRVINE, Calif. - With the outdoor track & field season set to begin on Saturday, March 3, we'll be getting to know a few members of the 2018 team, starting with junior transfer Mychal Robinson.
 
Robinson spent two years at Orange Coast College where she was a conference champion in the 100m hurdles. The Tustin native was also a CCCAA Southern California Regional qualifier. She comes to UC Irvine with a personal-best 14.31 in the 100H.
 
1. All in the Family
I have several family members who went pro in sports. One of them is my second cousin, Bobby Wagner. He plays for the Seattle Seahawks. 
 
2. Marvel Mania
I really got into Marvel this past summer and watched every film in chronological order. And yes, I've seen Black Panther... twice.

3. Music Festivals
Almost every music festival I attended last year, I got in for free. It was nice going to Coachella for three days without having to pay. I also had gnarly passes that granted me all-access. 
 
4. Night Drive
I love to go on random night drives and just listen to chill music. I usually end up at my favorite bakery in Newport Beach. 
 
5. Helping Hand
I really enjoy helping the community and doing charitable events. I think it is important to give back and put people in good spirits. I tend to take certain things for granted since I grew up in Orange County, and doing something charitable is a real eye-opener. 
 
 
EXTRAS
What are your goals for the outdoor season?
Focus on myself, run fast, and compete to win. If I do those three things, I know I will have a great outdoor season.
 
If you could spend a day with any celebrity, who would it be?
Michael Jackson or Kendrick Lamar. They both have similar characteristics such as always giving back to the community while remaining humble.
 
Dream vacation destination: 
I always wanted to backpack through Europe with some close friends, but if I had to pick one spot, it would be Spain. It is a beautiful country.
