Brian Johnson jumps to nationals
Jaguar junior No. 1 in long jump, No. 5 in 100-meters
He is number one in the nation in the long jump and fifth in the 100-meter dash however, Brian Johnson is still setting goals for himself.
"I just want them to use me as an example. If I can do this anyone can do," said junior political science major Brian Johnson.
The first outdoor meet at the Florida A& M Relays with only two weeks of practice coming straight from basketball season Johnson qualified for the nationals jumping 26-3 3/4. The next week Johnson astonished the crowd jumping 27-4 at the University of New Orleans relays far surpassing his last jump.
In the 100 Johnson ran a 10.23 qualifying for nationals twice in one day at the UNO relays,
"He is a canny person, he is a remarkable person," said head coach Johnny Thomas.
