U.S. OLYMPIC FESTIVAL : ROUNDUP
Olympian Brandy Johnson won her third gymnastics gold medal, taking the vault in record-setting fashion.
The 17-year-old Johnson, a 1988 Olympian who finished third in the 1990 U.S. Championships, won the all-around gold Friday with a festival-record 39.025 points. She also won a gold Friday as a member of the winning South team.
She received a 9.90 in the vault despite an ankle injury she sustained Friday on the beam.
Her 9.90 beat the record of 9.462 set in 1989 by Amy Scherr.
In track and field, Hollis Conway won the high jump by clearing 7 feet 8 inches, but failed in three tries to break his American record of 7-10.
