Jacquelyn Kate "Jackie" Johnson is an American heptathlete. She is a four-time NCAA outdoor champion, and a three-time NCAA indoor champion. She also set a personal best of 6,347 points by placing second at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon, which guaranteed her a qualifying place for the Olympics. Johnson is a member of the track and field team for the Arizona State Sun Devils, and is coached and trained by Dan O'Brien, gold medalist in the decathlon at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.
At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Johnson competed as a member of the U.S. track and field team in the women's heptathlon, along with her fellow athletes Diana Pickler and Hyleas Fountain. Although she accomplished five events and reached into the higher position, Johnson, however, strained her left hamstring in the long jump, and was forced to withdraw from the competition because of an injury.
