Johnson was the runner up in the 60m hurdles at the 2022 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships behind Gabbi Cunningham. Johnson was also runner up in the 100m hurdles at the 2022 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, this time behind Kendra Harrison with Johnson running a personal best of 12.35 seconds. That time of 12.35 placed Johnson twelfth on the all time 100 metres hurdles list, worldwide. Consequent from this performance Johnson was selected for the American team to take part in the 2022 World Athletics Championships held in Eugene, Oregon.
