        An All-Colonial Conference First Team runner and cross country captain out of Haddon Township High School, Robin England joined the Rutgers-Camden women’s program during the 2007 fall season. It didn’t take her long to make an impact, as she was named the New Jersey Athletic Conference Women’s Cross Country Rookie Runner of the Week on Sept. 10 after finishing first on the Lady Raptors’ squad and 12th out of 94 runners overall at the Lebanon Valley College Invitational (Sept. 8). She posted a 21:40.68 clocking over the 5,100-meter course in her collegiate athletic debut.

        By the end of the season, England had earned All-NJAC Second Team honors after finishing ninth overall out of 46 runners at the conference championships Oct. 27. She posted a time of 24:28.01 in the 6K race, which was the second-fastest 6K time in program history at that time.

        Two weeks later, England was one of two Rutgers-Camden runners breaking the program’s old 6K mark of 24:07.1 when she ran a 23:56.6 at the NCAA Atlantic Regionals Nov. 10. She finished 57th out of 255 runners and placed second on the Lady Raptors.

        Overall, England competed in all six invitationals for the Rutgers-Camden women, leading the team four times and finishing second twice. Her top 6K time was the 23:56.6 at the NCAA Regionals.

        England earned six varsity letters in cross country and track for Haddon Township High School, competing for Coach Sylvia Schenk in cross country and Coach Glen Gess in track. As a senior she captured New Jersey Group 2 Third Team honors and added First Team All-Group 2 recognition from the Courier-Postnewspaper. She also won the school’s Houkirk Award for both track and cross country.

        Academically, England was a High Honor Roll student who graduated ninth out of 191 in her class. She was a member of the National Honor Society and the Spanish National Honor Society.

        In addition to her accomplishments as a student-athlete, England also plays the violin.

        A dual Accounting and Economics major at Rutgers-Camden who is an Honors College student, Robin is the daughter of Linda and Ronald England of Haddonfield.
