[ISUCC]

to correct SSOM, and he knows I am doing this. This is the 3rd straight indoor meet ISU has had a women's national champion, BUT the 5th straight meet (indoor/outdoor combined) ISU has had a women's national champion.

Hutson of course, won 4 straight pole vault titles (2 indoor, 2 outdoor) prior to Johnson winning tonight.

This makes 4 strait indoor meets that the Sycamore women have had a NCAA narional Champiomship. Hutson obviously winning the previous 3. Just a huge year for Sycamore athletics!!! Lets keep it rollin yo!

i new she had it in her, i'll put down a lot of money saying that by the end of her career she'll go atleast 80 feet in a meet, if not farther.
