Graduation Year: 2017
Rising senior India Johnson has perhaps the nation's most impressive rate of improvement in cross country--
Freshman year: 111th at D1 Ohio State Championship, 193rd at NXN Midwest, 19:32.03 5K PB
Sophomore year: 31st at D1 Ohio State Championship, 125th at NXN Midwest, 18:47.59 4K PB
Junior year: 2nd at D1 Ohio State Championship, 14th at NXN Midwest, 17:31.35 5K PB
Now take a look at her improvement on the track: she swept the Ohio indoor and outdoor state titles in the 3200m, set a PB of 10:29.8, broke five minutes in the mile and, most impressively, ran 16:53.78 for 5K on the track to for fourth place and All-American honors at New Balance Nationals Outdoor.
Sounds like an athlete to watch... stay tuned!
