SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The Sacramento State women's rowing program

announced that local product Jodi Johnson has signed a National

Letter of Intent and will enroll as a freshman at Sacramento State

next fall.

Currently a senior at Mesa Verde High School, Johnson has played

three years of volleyball and four years of both basketball and

softball for the Mavericks. The 5-9 native of Citrus Heights, Calif.,

who has been named to the honor roll all four years, helped lead the

softball team to a section championship during her sophomore season

and a section runner-up finish as a junior.

"Jodi is extremely athletic and that will allow her to pick up rowing

quickly," head coach Bill Zack said. "Along with Jodi, we hope to

continue attracting quality Sacramento-area athletes to come here and

row."

Johnson marks the third Sacramento State signee of the year as Jenna

DuBois and Kellie Wilder signed during the early signing period.
