Emily Johnson are two of 116 student-athletes recognized as members of the Outdoor Track & Field All-Summit League Team today.

Houston finished third in the 800 meters at last weekend's outdoor championship in Macomb, Ill. with a time of 2:09.62. The Omaha native had previously earned All-Summit recognition with second-place finishes in the 800 meters both indoors and outdoors in 2018.
Houston finished her UNO career owning the school's third-best 800 meters times both indoors and outdoors.
Johnson set a school record in the 10,000 meters and finished second in the championships with a time of 36:02.12. It was the first of two school records for the Elkhorn native who also broke her own school record in the 5,000 meters with a time of 16:51.56, good for sixth place.
Johnson also earned All-Summit recognition in the fall when she finished in the top 10 at the Summit Cross Country Championships.
