Brooks Johnson, 1934-2024: Legendary former Stanford, Olympic track coach dies at 90
The track and field community is mourning the death of an icon after former Stanford and Olympic coach Brooks Johnson died over the weekend.
Johnson, 90, had coached at least one athlete in every Olympics since 1968, and was a fixture on the U.S. national team. The Miami native was a member of the U.S Track and Field coaching staff in 1976, 1984, 2004 and 2008.
A moment of silence was held in Johnson’s honor at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials on Saturday at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore.
