Justin Robinson, MileSplit's No. 1 athlete in the Class of 2020, may be closer to a college decision.

The Hazelwood West (MO) High School senior, who was breathtaking in the final weeks of the spring track and field season, winning a Pan American U20 Championship at 400 meters and posting the No. 2 all-time performance of 44.84 seconds -- while also racking up three more times under 46 seconds -- announced his top three schools on Monday, settling on Baylor, Arizona State and the University of Southern California. 

Robinson is inarguably the most versatile sprinter of the senior class, owning personal bests of 10.32 seconds in the 100m, 20.98 seconds in the 200m and 44.84 seconds in the 400m. He's been widely accepting of roles in relays outside of his individual success, and claimed another gold medal and World Junior Record at the Pan American U20 Championships by anchoring team USA's effort under 3 minutes. In that relay he split under 44 seconds. 

Robinson won a USA U20 Championship in the 400m and an indoor New Balance Nationals Indoor title at the same distance.
