SAN DIEGO - San Diego State senior center Paris Johnson became the school's all-time career blocks leader Wednesday evening in the team's game against Colorado State. Johnson rejected three shots, including her final one at the 2:02 mark of the second half on a shot attempt by Ram Chantel Kennedy. The last block gave her 252 in her Aztec career, surpassing the previous record of 251 compiled by former SDSU standout Michelle Suman, who played on The Mesa from 1991-92 to 1994-95.
Johnson also owns the school's record for blocks in a season with 94 as a sophomore in 2008-09, and for blocks in a game with nine at UNLV on March 7, 2009. She is currently second in the Mountain West Conference in career blocks, trailing only New Mexico's Jordan Adams, who had 344 from 1999-2003.
Johnson is on pace to break the school record for consecutive starts, which currently stands at 122 set in 2010 by former teammate Quenese Davis. Johnson has started all 117 games since beginning her collegiate career in 2007-08, and is also fourth in the SDSU record book in career points (1,487) and rebounds (836), fifth in free throws made (281) and second in free throws attempted (495).
