The meet wasn't FAT, but she did have a good performance. She kind of reminds me of Sherone Simpson from jamaica the way she runs. The 100m was neck and neck until the final 15m. The 200m was even coming off the curve, then she pulled away with Jerrika Lewis & Samantha Learch(spelling)close behind figting for 2nd. Lewis probably should have beat her in the 400, but ran far to agressive in the 1st 100m and faded in the last 100m.
They were running into the wind for the 100, 200 and last 100m of the 400m. So the times even though their hand timed don't really show what she and the other girls are capable of. The top three girls would have probably run under 12.00 in the 100, and Johnson would have probably run 24.xx in the 200. Maybe 55 in the 400.
A good performance?
Without the wind she could of ran state championship winning times in all three sprint events (2007 times) in the first week of April and you're saying she had JUST a "Good" performance? LOL
If a girl in Illinois is running 55s, 24s and 11s in May, she is a superstar, I don't know what team you were following when you were taking the video, but if it's Rock Falls, I look forward to hearing about how her season progresses.
Just wanted to remind who ever wanted to see how the season progresses, that Genesis JOhnson is from Rock Island not Rock Falls. Barring unforeseen circumstances, I would be surprised if you didn't see Genesis in the finals as the season progresses. Hard to predict anything with the spring we've had. There have been very few chances to compete. However, Genesis has competed with some of the best, Barrington, Conant, Thornton. I think she has made a good mark.
