UW track star Chavon Robinson knows what it takes to take giant leaps

Chavon Robinson has negotiated her share of learning curves since joining the University of Wisconsin womenâ??s track and field team four years ago. She came from Milwaukee in 2006 regarded as a decent talent in the long and triple jumps. Sheâ??s heading for the exit with two school records, having grown into what UW coach Jim Stintzi describes as an “elite, national-level athlete.” Robinson came from Rufus King High School with a passing knowledge of her craft. Sheâ??s since become such a student of her specialties that her tutor, UW assistant coach Nate Davis, came up to her after a practice session this season and, in complimentary fashion, said, “You donâ??t need me as much.”
