Timeline

1923

Koch's winning time was 23.09 c.f. Robertson's 3rd place in 23.69.

Robertson's times from that championship are still the fastest indoor times run by a New Zealand woman.

1940

Her father captained the New Zealand national rugby league team in the 1940s and 1950s and was inducted into the Legends of League (Hall of Fame equivalent) in 2000.

Her mother was a sprinter, netball and basketball player for the Auckland province.

Robertson was educated at Epsom Girls' Grammar School in Auckland, and Eastern Institute of Technology, Viticulture and Winemaking Dept, Napier, New Zealand.

She joined the Hillsborough Junior Athletic Club when she was seven years old and rarely lost a sprint race from that age through to 13 years old.

When she was 13 years old, competing at the Auckland Children's Championships she completed a rare feat of winning all four events she was entered in – 75 meters, 100 meters, long jump and high jump.

Her athletic career continued at Epsom Girls’ Grammar where she won the inaugural New Zealand Secondary Schools Championship senior girls sprint double in the 100m and 200m in times that were to last for over 25 years - the 100 meter record of 11.66 still stands [2].

The move up to the 400m distance resulted in her 1st of six 400m titles, immediately breaking the Auckland record.

1957

Kim Annette Robertson (born 10 March 1957) is a New Zealand former track and field sprinter.

She represented New Zealand at three Commonwealth Games, one World Indoor Championship, three IAAF World Cups and three Pacific Conference Games.

Robertson was born on 10 March 1957, the middle child of Maurice Robertson and Eileen Hobcraft, in Mt Eden, a suburb of Auckland.

Both her parents were athletes in their own right.

1973

Epsom Girls Grammar School Track Captain – 1973–1975

1974

Two weeks later she finished in 3rd place in the New Zealand senior woman's 100m & 200m to secure a place in her first New Zealand team as the youngest member (16 years old and still at high school) of the 1974 Christchurch Commonwealth Games track team.

1976

After ending school Robertson joined up with Tom McIntyre (coach of Olympic medallist John ("Dutch") Holland [3]), one of New Zealand's most successful sprint and hurdles coaches to become unbeatable in New Zealand Championship events in the 100m, 200m and 400m winning 32 national titles from 1976 to 1984 [4].

1977

It was Mr. McIntyre who suggested to Robertson that she should move up to the 400m something which she first attempted at the NZ Track & Field Championships in Hamilton in March 1977.

In a very poignant moment Robertson was awarded her gold medal for the

400m by Mr. McIntyre who at the time was 95 years old.

1978

In the winter months Robertson excelled in badminton representing Auckland at numerous tournaments and winning the Auckland A Grade singles and doubles in 1978.

After retiring from competitive athletics Robertson moved to the small South Island city of Nelson and coached a number of young sprinters and jumpers.

Brent Stebbings won the NZ Secondary Schools triple jump title 3 years running using the Robertson innovative style of sprint/jump training.

Robertson also coached hockey, basketball and soccer players, marathon runners and Special Olympic athletes over a 20-year period.

Now living in California, US, she continues her interest in coaching speed work for track and soccer.

1980

She was also selected in the 1980 Moscow Olympic team in the 400 meters but did not compete due to the NZ Government boycotting the event.

Her times steadily improved until in 1980 she ran a world class time (and new New Zealand Record [5]) of 51.60 in the televised New Zealand Track Series beating the current Commonwealth Games champion Donna Hartley from England.

Unfortunately for Robertson the 1980 New Zealand Olympic team boycotted the Moscow Games and therefore she could not compete.

New Zealand Athlete of the Year – 1980

1982

She continued to compete in all sprint events and was 5th in the 1982 Commonwealth Games 400m behind the great Raelene Boyle.

1985

In 1985 Robertson was selected to compete in the first ever World Indoor Games in Paris, France.

She was selected for both the 60m and 200m.

Having never run on an indoor track before Robertson made both finals and won a bronze medal behind world record holder Marita Koch in the 200m [6].

North Shore Athlete of the Year - 1985

2010

She was also selected in the 4 × 100 meter relay which came 5th in the final.

2012

This time ranked Robertson 12th in the world and beat the Olympic Games qualifying time.

She repeated this accomplishment one week later in her home city of Auckland running down the opposition in the final 150 meters to win in 51.80.

Robertson's time of 51.60 still stands as a New Zealand record – the longest standing Olympic track event record for women.
