Clayton State Women's Track & Field Sets Program Record as Johnson Named PBC Field Athlete of the Week

AUGUSTA, Ga. – For the second time this season Clayton State women's track & field senior Destiny Johnson (New Iberia, La.) has been named Peach Belt Conference Women's Field Athlete of the Week and her selection breaks the program record for a season as announced by the league on Tuesday, April 30.
 
The prolific senior made the most of her one opportunity last week at the Don McGarey Invitational (4/27) as she competed in the high jump.
 
Looking to earn a trip to the NCAA Division II National Championships she delivered her second provisional height this month as she cleared the bar at a personal-best 1.68-meters.
 
That bettered both her previous PR and the current provisional threshold of 1.67-meters and gave her a 3-of-11 finish. She had set the earlier mark at the Gulf South/Peach Belt Challenge on April 6. Additionally she was the top DII finisher in the event behind DI competitors from Kennesaw and Jacksonville.
 
Overall, Clayton State has collected 12 such field honors spread across five different individuals. Johnson's selection makes for a program record four awards this year with the first two being earned by freshman Kiara Green (Ty, Ty, Ga.) and Johnson following on April 9.
 
That bests the mark from the 2014 campaign when Brianna Heilsnis won two and Jessica Matthews claimed the other.
