It was two different events and two different conference records for the speedy senior as the Chargers competed at the GVSU Big Meet and Oiler Invite over the weekend.
Johansson shattered the 200-meter record and was also part of the new 4x400-meter relay conference record (HC men also broke the conference record) to add momentum going into the championship meet.
Johansson broke the longest standing indoor record from 2017 by dashing to a 200-meter dash runner-up finish in 24.30 seconds. Already owning the championship meet record, Johansson passed Ursuline’s Nicole Yeargin (currently running T&F at USC), who held the top spot for awhile at 24.41.
Johansson currently ranks 11th in Division II among all provisional 200-meter qualifiers.
For the second straight week, the Chargers bettered the 4x400-meter relay record. The 3:48.47 recorded at the Hillsdale Wide-Track Classic didn’t last long as the same foursome of Johansson, Dakota Stamm, Shura Ermakov and Alanna O’Learly, combined for a 3:47.83.
The Chargers’ newest provisional time is ranked second in Division II only behind Grand Valley State.
