Johanna Nilsson

[Kuykendall]

Does anybody know why she didn't run the 1500 regional final, hence isn't in the NCAAs? I have a friend from near Flagstaff, and even the newspaper there hasn't said. The Northern Arizona University track & field webpages are silent on the subject. A Google News search produces nothing.

Re: Johanna Nilsson

Surely somebody knows this answer but just hasn't noticed the question.

Our national athletics board lists the NCAA participants, but no article on JNilsson.

TIO SVENSKAR PÅ NCAA


4 JUN Den 9-12 juni, dvs nästa onsdag-lördag, kulminerar USA:s universitetssäsong i de stora mästerskapen NCAA.
Årets tävling går i Austin, Texas, och alla tecken tyder på att det kommer att bli under väderbetingelser liknande de som väntas (fruktas?) vid OS, dvs 30-35 plusgrader i skuggan och hög luftfuktighet. Tio svenskar lär få pröva på dessa bastubetingelser genom att de återfinns på den slutliga deltagarlistan som omfattar 20-30 namn i varje gren:

Henrik Ahnström (3000mH), Mikael Jakobsson (400mH, 4x400m), Niklas Arrhenius (kula, diskus), Magnus Lohse (kula), Daniel Arrhenius (diskus), Gabriel Wallin (spjut), Rajne Svenssohn (tiokamp), Kajsa Haglund (800m), Ida Nilsson (3000mH) och Marie Hilmersson (slägga).

Re: Johanna Nilsson

The upcoming July issue will report that Johanna Nilsson is not competing because the coaching staff felt she "wasn't ready to compete at nationals" or whatever that means. That's all I could get out of them.

Done for the year. I posit "burnout".

She will surface again here in SE during the summer season. If she does not, however, I understand why: 2003 indoors. 2003 outdoors. 2003 summer. 2003 cross. 2004 indoors. 2004 outdoors. Silence ... TBD ...

Hauglund, JNilsson and INilsson were racing late into last summer before flying back to the USA to begin fall xc.
