Coach Lexia Robinson enters her fifth season on the staff of Aliann Pompey, serving as the throws coach. Robinson is no stranger to coaching collegiate throwing events in the Tri-State Area. Before arriving in Queens, she spent the nearly six years as a throws coach at Fairleigh Dickinson, Sacred Heart and Manhattan College.
Last season, Robinson her contingent of throwers to BIG EAST individual titles, All-BIG EAST honors and Jamora Alves to All-American Honorable Mention status. Alves continued the streak of St. John’s appearing at an NCAA Championship meet for the 32nd year in a row. In addition, Robinson guided Alves to the Guyana national record in the discus throw at the 129th Penn Relays in April of 2025. The toss of 54.33m (178 ft 3 in), sits second all-time in St. John’s track and field history.
During her time at Sacred Heart, Robinson guided three different throwers, both male and female, to athlete of the year honors in the Northeast Conference. Robinson also coached seven conference champions in the NEC during the indoor and outdoor seasons.
Robinson is not just an accomplished coach, but also an accomplished track and field athlete in her own right. Robinson competed for two seasons at Western Kentucky where she still holds several top-five marks in the school's record book for multiple throwing events. Robinson also qualified for the Jamaican National Qualifiers while with the Hilltoppers. She graduated in 2014.
"Coach Pompey continues to assemble a top-level staff and I'm excited to see their collective future successes with the addition of Coach Robinson," added St. John's Director of Athletics Mike Cragg. "To be sure, Coach Robinson places high value on the student-athlete and her college experience – looking for ways to motivate and inspire towards BIG EAST championships, success in the classroom and a strong commitment to the community. It's an exciting time for St. John's Track & Field."
"I am grateful to join St. John's coaching staff and athletic program," said Robinson. "Coach Pompey has an amazing vision for the women's track and field team, and I am excited to be a part of it."
