The Statesmen Highlight Reel : Haniyyah Johnson

Richard Bland College Indoor Track & Field team completed their season at the NJCAA Indoor National Championship event in Gainesville, Florida last Friday and Saturday. The event was held at the Alachua Sports and Events Center. A strong driving force of this program is sophomore jumper and sprinter, Haniyyah Johnson from Pamplin, Virginia.

 

Haniyyah Johnson made a name for herself, earning a spot on the podium in two National Championship events, for her efforts and was named a NJCAA Track & Field All-American.

 

Johnson initially qualified for NJCAA Nationals at the first meet of the season, the Rutgers Holiday Classic.

 

At the National Championship, Johnson participated in the 60 Meters and Long Jump (5.91m) and placed 2nd and 4th earning a spot on the National podium in both events.

 

Next up will be outdoor season, where Johnson will be looked at to continue leading and producing for the Richard Bland Track & Field program. The first meet, the Raleigh Relays, is set to take place on March 28th at NC State.
