Spring sports are right around the corner, and the App State track and field team will look forward to seeing nationally ranked Jordan Johnson and Peighton Simmons perform this season.
Going into the outdoor season, both athletes are ranked in the top 35 in the country by the Preseason National Rating Index from the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association for their respective events. Johnson is a junior jumper and sprinter for the men’s team, while Simmons, also a junior, participates in those same events on the women’s team.
“They both bring great experience to their events and to the team,” head coach Damion McLean said via email.
