Bio
Holder of several individual gymnastics records at Orange Coast, Robyn Tomlinson was a leader for the Pirate program for both of her two seasons. In 1979, she helped OCC to a 6-3 record, second place overall at the South Coast Conference Finals and sixth place in the state. In her first season with the Pirates, Tomlinson set four new high marks in four individual events. She scored an 8.45 on the vault, an 8.3 on the uneven bars, an 8.1 on the balance beam and notched an all-around score of 32.8. In a dual matchup with Grossmont College, Tomlinson helped the Pirates set a team record with 117.05 points. After earning all-conference honors, Tomlinson finished 10th all-around in the state after qualifying on the uneven bars and floor exercise, an event which she finished fifth in the state. As a sophomore, Tomlinson was team captain and helped guide the Pirates to first place overall at the SCC Championships with 123.85 points, edging out rival Golden West (123.15) and Grossmont (120.60). Again earning all-conference honors, Tomlinson was a state silver medalist on the floor exercise and a bronze medalist on the balance beam. She also qualified for the vault and finished fourth and was sixth all-around in the state. After her career at Coast, Tomlinson earned a degree in sociology and psychology from Cal State Fullerton and has been a longtime employee for the Disneyland Resort.
