COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Air Force senior Zach Johnson was named the Mountain West Men's Indoor Track Athlete of the Week for the second time this season, the conference office announced this afternoon (Feb. 21). It is the third career award for the native of Farmington, N.M., who also captured league honors once during the last outdoor season.
Johnson matched his own Air Force record in the 60-meter dash at the Air Force Collegiate Open last Friday, posting a time of 6.73 to win the 19-runner event by 0.09 seconds. That time, which equaled the program standard that he initially set at the Air Force Holiday Open in December, remains the fastest time in the Mountain West this season.
The Falcons travel to New Mexico later this weekend for the 2017 Mountain West Indoor Track and Field Championships. The three-day event begins on Thursday, Feb. 23, and will be held at the ABQ Convention Center in downtown Albuquerque.
