His 15th place finish earns the Bearkat senior honorable mention All-America honors.
Starting Thursday’s action with a sixth place 14.56 clocking in the 110 meter hurdles and a decathlon personal best of 156 feet 10 inches in the discus, Johnson climbed into seventh place overall after seven events.

Why We Are An Affiliate Of Amazon
By Cheval John
You might have seen the ads displayed on my site featuring products on Amazon
I’m here to let you know that we have been an affiliate of Amazon.com since last year.
They are many affiliate programs out there that partner with websites to generate sales for them.
But Amazon is by far, the most trustworthy of them all because they operate their company with integrity and understands the customers needs.
I buy most of my stuff, meaning books, online from Amazon and I can honestly say that I would not shop anywhere else.
That is the main reason why we are an affiliate of Amazon and I’m here to say that if you see an article that has an asterisk next to a word, that means that it will have come from a book that is sold on Amazon.com and it will be a disclaimer at the end of the article that says that.
Also, I will not recommend a book that I haven’t read yet because I don’t want to be a person who misleads my readers to do something that I haven’t done yet.
You are very important to me and I want to say thank you for reading the articles on Vallano Media over the years and I aim to continue to bring quality articles and commentary that are important to you.
