Meet the Cougars Track & Field Captains: Alissa Brooks-Johnson

A small town girl with big time plans, Alissa Brooks-Johnson leads the Women's track field team as captain for her final season at Washington State.

Brooks-Johnson, a senior from Doty, Wash., graduated from Pe Ell High School. The K-12 school had a population of just over 250 students, a small town feel that Brooks-Johnson appreciated.

"I liked getting to grow up with the same people, everyone was very close," Brooks-Johnson said of her community.

With such a small population, it didn't take long for Brooks-Johnson to make a name for herself and stand out as an athlete.
