One of the most prolific athletic talents in Razorback history Gigi (Miller) Johnson returned to Fayetteville, Arkansas in 2012 as a volunteer coach for the Arkansas women’s track and field team. Johnson is charged with assisting in the development of the Razorback combined events performers as well as the sprinters.

 

Prior to returning to Arkansas, Johnson spent seven years in a similar capacity with the Penn State Nittany Lions track and field team while also managing her decorated career as a professional athlete for the United States of America Track and Field (USATF) team.

 

Before her days as a coach, Johnson was one of the top contributors to head coach Lance Harter’s talented squad. Johnson transferred to Arkansas in 2000 from Odessa Junior College where she finished her two-year stead as a 25-time NJCAA All-American.

​

Johnson still remains the best triple jumper to ever compete for Arkansas holding both the indoor and outdoor school records and is No. 5 on the Arkansas’ all-time list in the heptathlon with a score of 5,925.

Gigi currently resides in Fayetteville with her husband, Arkansas Women's Track and Field head coach Chris Johnson.
