“I’ll just do what I’ve been doing,” Robinson said. “There’s really no pressure when I go there because I’m just going by myself. I don’t feel there’s any. There should be none. I don’t feel like I’ve got anything against me.

“But it’s a cool feeling. I’m glad I get to do it another year.”

Robinson will be competing alongside Utah during the championship, which will be much different than working with her teammates, MSU head coach Kathie Klages said.

“The difference is (you’re by) yourself rather than (with) a team,” Klages said.

“So she’ll have to integrate with (Utah’s) team and work out with their team. It’s very different than going to competition with your own team. You feel a bit of a loner, but the University of Utah is very welcoming.”

She’ll be competing in all four events and must be one of the top four scorers to win. Michigan will be competing at nationals for the 16th consecutive time.

Klages said sophomore Nicole Curler’s ankle injuries toward the end of the season dropped the Spartans’ chance to compete in nationals.

However, Robinson’s second trek to nationals will allow her to bring back experience, tips and tricks that she can share with her team to help it grow for future seasons, she added.

“But having someone other than coaching staff tell the team they’re good enough is very valuable,” Klages said. “It made a huge impact on the team this year, and I think it will make a huge impact on the team next year.”

Klages’ “no pressure” mantra has stuck with her team, and Robinson said she’s completely relaxed.

“Whatever happens, happens,” Robinson said. “I’m ready for it. If I get nervous I’ll have a bad outcome. I don’t put stress on myself for no reason. It’s another meet, another routine you have to do.”

It’s this kind of mentality that’s led to Robinson’s early collegiate success. She scored the first perfect 10 in school history on Feb. 10, 2007, on the vault — her preferred event. That score was one of just five perfect scores on the vault in the nation last year.

“I do believe she’s got some talent to be able to make it to the finals in a couple of events,” Klages said. “We’re hoping that opportunity arises with an outstanding performance.”

To be successful in collegiate competitions and at nationals, it’s best to stay focused, Robinson said.

“You’ve got to have discipline,” she said. “The most memorable part of last year was the night I just got to go and see what else is out there, what other successful teams do to get to that point of the season.”
