My name is Kortnei Johnson,

I am a professional track and field athlete, LSU alumna, former Nike athlete, and Team USA competitor currently pursuing opportunities to compete at the World Championships 2027 and ultimately the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.

Alongside my athletic journey, I have worked with the YMCA for the past four years and currently serve as a Wellness Coach at the Waxahachie location.

Through both athletics and wellness coaching, I have developed a passion for inspiring and mentoring youth through fitness, discipline, leadership, and perseverance.

I am currently working toward transitioning into Elite Performance Group as I continue pursuing elite-level competition.

As an independent professional athlete, I am training largely on my own with limited resources while balancing work, recovery, travel, and competition expenses.

This fundraiser will help provide the support necessary to continue progressing at the highest level, including training expenses, meet travel, recovery treatment, chiropractic care, nutrition, equipment, and competition costs.

Beyond competing, my goal is to give back to the community through youth sprint clinics, mentorship opportunities, and athletic development programs that positively impact young athletes and families.

Every contribution, prayer, share, and word of encouragement truly means more than you know. Thank you for believing in my journey and helping me continue chasing this dream while making an impact on others along the way.
