Brianna Robles is a graduate student on the women's cross country, indoor track and field, and outdoor track and field team at Adams State University. Originally from Palmview, Texas, Robles is a distance runner who has been hard to beat in any distance longer than 3000 meters.
Robles is a 2x individual national champion, winning the 5000-meter run in both indoor and outdoor track in 2022. In 2023, she was the national runner-up in the 5000m (indoor and outdoor), 10,000m (outdoor), and 3,000m (indoor). She was also a part of the 2023 NCAA Division II Cross Country Championship runner-up team, the 2022-2023 NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field Championship team, and the 2019 and 2021 NCAA Division II Cross Country Championship team.
Robles is a 7x All-American in cross country (3x), the indoor 5000m, the indoor 3000m, the outdoor 10,000m, and the outdoor 5000m. She was also named the RMAC Cross Country Runner of the Year. This year in cross country, Robles won the NCAA Division II South Central Region Cross Country Championships and came fourth at the NCAA Division II Cross Country Championships.
The Grizzlies have at least four meets left before Adams State looks to defend their Division II Indoor Track and Field National Championship title. Brianna Robles will also be looking to take back her 5000-meter title from 2022 or revenge her 3000-meter race from 2023.
