While many teams were taking time off for spring break before starting the outdoor season, Alyssa Johnson and the Taylor University women's track team got a jump start.

Johnson, a 2006 Jay County graduate, teamed for a second-place finish as the Trojans competed March 17 at the Wabash Relays.

The freshman joined with Alyssa Hartman, Becky Hegelein and Winchester graduate Tabitha Bogue to finish as the runner-up team in the 4x800-meter relay. They crossed the line in 10-minutes, 26.44 seconds, trailing only the team from Huntington College.
