Chelsea Johnson, the defending outdoor national champion in the pole vault, strained a hamstring in practice this past week and will not compete for the next several weeks.

The junior hopes to return on Feb. 25 for the MPSF Indoor Championships in Seattle. It is UCLA's final indoor meet before the NCAA Indoor Championships, so Johnson will need to post a qualifying mark to be eligible.

"That shouldn't be a problem for her," UCLA pole vault coach Anthony Curran said.

Johnson, who broke the NCAA record with a 15-foot vault this past April, would be one of the favorites to win the indoor championship in March if she is able to compete.

That sucks, I hope that she can recover in time. Dam hammys, always going on you at the wrong time.

Get well soon Chelsea! And hope you are back in the game before too long.

Get Well Soon!!

Yeah Chelsea,

You are the best. Everything will work out for you. see you in Kutztown, Pa hopefully

LIKE OLD TIMES: It was more than a foot shy of her personal best, but UCLA's Chelsea Johnson, the collegiate record-holder in the pole vault, was very satisfied with her 13-foot, 9.25-inch effort on Saturday.

Johnson, who took second place behind former UCLA great Tracy O'Hara, has been hampered by a hamstring injury the past two months, and had not cleared 13 feet in a meet since the U.S. Olympic Trials last July.

"Today was a confidence builder," Johnson said. "I wasn't trying to vault any particular bar. I was trying to come out confident and do the same things technically that I had been doing in practice."

Chelsea don't push these things let them heal now so you can jump well when it really counts OLympics

Don't worry Chelsea, one step at a time!!! You'll be over 14 and then 15 feet in no time again

Thanks everyone for all the support! It really means alot to me! Good luck and stay healthy
