The future of Bermudian Track and Field looks increasingly bright as siblings Raelyn and Reyna Robinson delivered a series of dominant performances at the Titans Track Classic V in Inman, South Carolina.
The event, a prestigious fixture in the southern U.S. youth athletics calendar, saw the two young athletes hold their own against elite competition, including a visiting contingent from Jamaica. For the Robinson sisters, the trip proved to be a gold-standard showcase of Bermudian talent on the international stage.
Competing in the 8U category, Raelyn Robinson lived up to her burgeoning reputation as a rising star. Currently ranked fourth in the United States for the long jump, she translated that explosive power into four podium finishes. Raelyn secured a sensational hat-trick of gold medals in the 100m, 400m, and her specialist long jump event.
She added a silver medal in the 200m to her tally, but the highlight for many was her performance in the 100m dash, where she clocked a new personal best of 15.94 seconds. Cal Simons, Head Coach of the Bermuda Pacers Track Club, expressed his pride in the results, noting that he eagerly anticipates her progression in upcoming meets.
Not to be outdone, younger sister Reyna Robinson proved that athletic prowess runs deep in the family. Competing in the 6U category, Reyna displayed remarkable consistency to secure a trio of silver medals in the 50m, 100m, and 200m. Her performance drew praise from the host Titans Track Club, who noted the determination shown by the youngest competitors.
The day concluded with both siblings being interviewed by regional sports media to discuss their hauls. As Raelyn continues her 2026 campaign, fans and supporters are already tracking her progress via social media, where she documents her journey under the moniker "Raelyn Rocket."
The Titans Track Club confirmed they were thoroughly impressed by the Bermudian duo’s impact on the meet and have already extended an invitation for their return to future events. For now, the siblings return home with a combined seven medals and a clear message: Bermuda’s next generation of sprinters has officially arrived.
