Brice Johnson leaps into a new realm of reality
Posted May 3, 2012
There are 169 people in the town of Cordova, S.C., according to the 2010 census. The town sits about an hour south of Columbia, just off U.S. Interstate 26. One of those 169 people is Brice Johnson, a young man who stands 6-feet-9-inches tall and has a measured wingspan of 7 feet. He can leap over a horizontal pole resting 6-feet-10-inches off the ground. That feat resulted in a South Carolina state championship in the high jump at the class 2-A level.
