Jackie Johnson, Arizona State: Collegiate Athlete Hall of Fame, Class of 2022

Jackie Johnson combined skills in track and field events like no collegiate woman or man had ever done in the multi-events during her days at Arizona State. She was the first to win seven national collegiate multi-event titles indoors or outdoors – when the most prior was five at any level of collegiate competition.

Johnson had a perfect record outdoors in the heptathlon, going four for four at the NCAA Championships, and lost just once in four NCAA indoor pentathlons, taking second as a freshman.

Johnson’s senior season in 2008 was part of glory days for ASU track & field. Individually, she set a collegiate record in the pentathlon with 4496 points and moved to No. 3 all-time collegian at 6276 in the heptathlon. Her points were critical for the Sun Devils – who won the team crown indoors and were a close second outdoors – and later that summer qualified for the Beijing Olympics.
