Last year he took fifth place but this year he leads the nation with a distance of 63-4 ?, almost three feet further than the next closest competitor. Johnson will also compete in the shot put. Last season he finished 14th in the event. The Blugold men captured one conference title last year, taking first in the 4x200-meter relay. The team finished with a time of 1:30.85. This year the Blugolds have the fifth fastest time in the conference at 1:30.98.
