Keshia Baker (Fairfield HS, CA), who was Johnson’s first recruit at Oregon, graduated last spring. She was the leader of the sprint crew as the school record-holder in the 400, indoors (51.63) and outdoors (50.76).
Baker provided one of the defining moments at last year’s NCAA outdoor meet when she held off Texas A&M’s Jessica Beard on the anchor leg of the 4x400 relay to deliver a heart-stopping victory at Hayward Field.
“(Baker) is irreplaceable,” Johnson said. “Every day, I wonder what it would be like to have her here for one more year.”
