Chris Johnson was named the National Women’s Assistant Coach of the Year for the 2023 NCAA DI Indoor Track & Field season. Johnson, in his 12th year as associate head coach at Arkansas, coached Razorback athletes to account for 40 of the 64 points that Arkansas scored to win the team title at the 2023 NCAA DI Indoor Championships. His sprint/hurdle crew won three events – 400 meters, 60-meter hurdles and 4×400 relay. Britton Wilson set a collegiate and American record in the 400 at 49.48 and anchored the 4×400 team to a world best of 3:21.75.

This is the second time in his career that Johnson has won the honor – first since 2018.
