He was named Minnesota Track & Field Coach of the Year five times, as well as Minneapolis City Coach of the Year seven times. His teams won 22 Minneapolis City track and cross country championships and produced numerous state champions. Robert has been – and still is – one of the area’s top starters and track and field meet referees and worked both national championship held at Macalester over the past five years.
