Clint Johnson

Track & Field - Class of 1980

"Clint Johnson will forever be remembered as the greatest field event athlete in Kansas history. Clint has held both the shot-put and discus distance record at both Shawnee Mission South and the State of Kansas since 1980. His distance record set in the shot-put is 69' 1 ½", and his discus distance record is 213' 6". In the intervening years of field event championships in the State of Kansas, those distance records have never been significantly challenged. Clint, the Sunflower League, Regional, and State Champion in both events in both 1979 and 1980, was recognized as the 1980 Kansas Athlete of the Year by the Kansas City Sports Commission, and is the only Shawnee Mission School District Athlete to have been inducted in the Kansas State High School Activities Association Hall of Fame."
