One of the finest student-athletes in Rutgers-Camden history, Robin England enters her senior season with nine varsity letters under her belt – three apiece in cross country, indoor and outdoor track. She has won eight of a possible nine team Most Valuable Player honors, has served as the Lady Raptors’ captain in all three sports, has set numerous program records and has earned multiple New Jersey Athletic Conference honors and championships.

A standout student as well, England has captured numerous academic honors. During her junior year in 2009-10, she earned New Jersey Athletic Conference Academic First Team honors, was named to the Academic All-District 2 First Team, captured two USTFCCCA academic honors and was recognized on both the track and the cross country teams for the Philadelphia Inquirer Academic All-Area program, including the honor of being named as the Inquirer’s Academic All-Area Runner of the Year in track and cross country.


As a junior alone, England earned All-NJAC honors in every season, including conference titles in both indoor and outdoor track, won the NJAIAW Cross Country Championship and added All-Atlantic Regional cross country recognition. She also captured or shared nine honors as Rutgers-Camden’s Raptor of the Week and added NJAC Women’s Cross Country Runner of the Week honors.


England holds Rutgers-Camden cross country records for both the 5K and 6K distances, owns eight indoor track records (five individual and three relays) and has set four individual outdoor program marks.

On November 13 2010, Robin set another cross country standard at Rutgers University-Camden by finishing seventh out of 236 competitors at the NCAA Division III Atlantic Regional Cross Country Championship in Oneonta, N.Y. to become the first woman in the Raptors’ cross country program history to qualify for the NCAA Division III Cross Country Championship.

The Lady Raptors’ co-captain finished 68th out of 279 runners in the NCAA championships, which were run in near-freezing temperatures on a windy day. England posted a time of 22:10.9, which was the second-fastest 6K time in program history behind her record clocking of 21:55.88 at the New Jersey Athletic Conference Championships Oct. 30, 2010.

HADDON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY

Robin earned six varsity letters in cross country and track at Haddon Township High School, competing for Coach Sylvia Schenk in cross country and Coach Glen Gess in track.  She served as a team captain of both sports.  Robin captured All-Colonial Conference First Team honors in cross country.  As a senior she added New Jersey Group 2 Third Team cross country honors and added First Team All-Group 2 recognition from the Courier-Post newspaper.  She also won the school’s Houkirk Award for both track and cross country.

Academically, she was a High Honor Roll student who graduated ninth out of 191 in her class.  She was a member of the National Honor Society, 3-M Honor Society, and the Spanish National Honor Society. Robin was also a member of the String Ensemble, Orchestra, Pit Orchestra, and The Touring Strings Club, where she played the violin. She was also a member of the Concert and Marching Band where she was a percussionist.  She was active in student council and was a member of various clubs.  She served as a peer tutor and mentor in the Cross-Age Mentor Program.

Robin’s contributions to the community mirrored those of her involvement in high school.  As a volunteer as a junior member of Westmont Fire Company, she achieved the office of Junior Vice President and Junior Lieutenant.  She also participated in many fundraisers for the American Heart Association and Tony’s Run, among others.  She participated in competitive swimming with the Sea Hawks at Crystal Lake Pool.  All the while, Robin was employed since the time she was fourteen years old, working for R-Mac’s (now The Tap Room) as a hostess and kitchen coordinator, until her second year of college.  For several summers, she also was employed as a lifeguard at Crystal Lake Pool.

Since her freshman year, Robin has been employed by Rutgers as a peer tutor.  She was recognized as Rutgers-Camden’s NJAIAW Woman of the Year honoree for the 2008-09 school year.  Under the direction of her coach, Joe Puleo, she runs with the United States Marine Corp to help in their fitness training.  She also is a member of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) 2009-10.
