Also posting a surprising win was Brian Johnson in the men's long jump. The two-time U.S. indoor champion leaped 8.10m/26-7 to relegate world and Olympic champion Dwight Phillips to second (8.08m/26-6.25) and defending U.S. outdoor champion Miguel Pate to third (7.96m/26-1.5).

Men Long Jump, Brian Johnson

"It went pretty good. The biggest factor was the wind in my face. The crowd was great."

He's also the '05 and '05 U.S. Indoor champ in the event..
