Competing at the Gulf South/Peach Belt Challenge (4/6), Johnson saw action three events, excelling in two of them, in the continuation of an impressive senior campaign.
 
Johnson won the high jump out of 14 competitors and, more importantly, did so with a height of 1.67-meters to notch an NCAA Provisional mark. That is right at the qualifying standard and ties for the 18th best height in Division II this year.
