After only a couple months on the pole, she made bars that ranked her as one of the best in the country. Johnson won the California state meet and with a winning jump of 13-6 at the Golden West, she equaled her high school PR. As a freshman, Johnson competed at NCAAs and raised her PR to 13-10.25. A break-out year for Chelsea was 2004; she finished second at NCAA indoors and she set the NCAA record of 15-0 that outdoor season. Johnson won her first of two NCAA crowns and that helped the UCLA women?s team win team title in 2004. The 2004 track season did not end at NCAAs for Johnson. She competed at 2004 Olympic trials and finished 4th only to miss the team by one spot. 2005 proved a difficult year for Johnson, but she returned to form in 2006 and surprised all by winning NCAA indoors and setting a new NCAA record. Chelsea also placed second outdoors. |
