St. Louis American Boys All-Area Track and Field Team

It was a tremendous year of boys’ track and field in the St. Louis metro area in 2019. The area produced three state championship teams in East St. Louis, Hazelwood West and Trinity, plus several sparkling individual performances.

The leader of this extraordinary year of track was junior star Justin Robinson of Hazelwood West, who led the Wildcats to their first state championship while setting state records and putting his name near the top of several national performance lists.

Robinson heads this year’s St. Louis American Boys’ All-Area Track and Field Teams.
