Johnson picks up conference award

Collegiate Check-up

A Jay County High School graduate was honored recently for another outstanding effort on the cross country course.

Alyssa Johnson, JCHS class of 2006, was named Mid-Central College Conference Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week for the second time this season after placing sixth for Taylor University at the NAIA Great Lakes Challenge. She had won each of her previous two races, the Bethel Invitational and the Wildcat Invitational hosted by Indiana Wesleyan University.

The senior was finished in 18 minutes, 49.64 seconds to finish sixth in the field of 225 runners. She was nearly 50 seconds ahead of the No. 2 runner from the Trojans, who were sixth out of 19 teams.

Amanda Johnson (2008), Alyssa's sister, also competed at the Great Lakes meet for Indiana Wesleyan University. She finished with a time of 20:04 as her team placed third.

Dayton, which finished 26th in this week's American Volleyball Coaches Association poll, is 20-2 on the year and 10-0 in the Atlantic 10. Its lone losses came to Marquette and No. 13 Michigan.
