Johnson and Johnson advance
Here's a release, courtesy of UCLA, on Bruins and former Bruins in the Olympic Track and Field Trials:
Former Bruins Brandon Johnson and Sheena (Johnson) Tosta advanced to
the finals of the 400m hurdles at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene,
OR after strong performances in the semifinal rounds of the men's and
women's respective races.
Johnson, who now runs for Nike and ended his UCLA career in 2007, ran
just off his lifetime-best as he finished seventh overall with a run
of 48.68.
Tosta, formerly Sheena Johnson, was 2nd overall in a time of 54.95.
Both will run in the final of their respective races on Sunday, while
another former Bruin, Monique Henderson, will begin competition in the
quarterfinals of the 400m.

About Inside UCLA
This is Brian Dohn's sixth season covering UCLA after spending 4 1/2 years covering the Dodgers for the Daily News and other Los Angeles Newspaper Group papers. He graduated from Rutgers, where the first college football game was played in 1869. Sure, the Scarlet Knights suffered for a long time, but now RU is doing what Jerseyans always thought was possible. Winning at Rutgers also proves winning is possible everywhere else in the nation, so underachieving coaches better be careful. Now, if only men's hoops can turn it around.
no such thing as a "former' bruin
I had a class with Brandon last year. He's a super friendly, fun, passionate guy. Go Brandon!
