SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Wofford claimed a pair of women's awards, with
Kerrington Johnson earning most Outstanding Track Performer honors and
Johnny Bomar being named Coach of the Year in a vote of the league's head coaches following the SoCon Outdoor Track and Field Championships earlier this week. The awards were two of eight specialty awards announced on Friday.
Kerrington Johnson scored 24.5 points on the track en route to earning Most Outstanding Track Performer honors. The senior from Anderson, South Carolina, won three titles and set a pair of program records Tuesday. She opened the final day of the meet by running the leadoff leg of Wofford's 4x100-meter relay. About 40 minutes later, she claimed her third straight SoCon title in the 100-meter hurdles. Later in the afternoon, she completed the hurdles sweep, winning her second career title in the 400-meter hurdles, winning in a school-record time of 1:01.13. She capped her day with another program record, this time running the third leg on the Terriers' 4x400-meter relay, which finished in second place in 3:46.67. Johnson is Wofford's second women's Most Outstanding Track Performer and first since 2019 (Hannah Steelman).
Johnny Bomar earned his second women's Coach of the Year award and first since 2019. The 12th-year skipper led the Terrier women to their third runner-up finish in the last four championships, with Wofford scoring a program-record 134 points. Wofford's women claimed four titles, with
Netanya Linares winning the heptathlon in addition to Johnson's hurdles sweep and the 4x100-meter relay win. He was also the 2021 Women's Indoor Coach of the Year.
