Kellyn Johnson Taylor is part of the 2025 Pizza Hut Shocker Sports Hall of Fame induction class. The class will be inducted on Sat., Jan. 18.
The witnesses don't remember the exact mile time that Kellyn (Johnson) Taylor ran that day in the Heskett Center. They do remember it went well, better than their high expectations as coaches tried out their new arrival from junior college on the indoor track.
"She blew everybody away," said Marc Burns, former Wichita State cross country coach, who remembers her running around 4:48, about 10 seconds faster than previously.
