Career at Colorado—Johnsen opened her career with two highly successful seasons for the Buffs, earning All-America honors as both a freshman and a sophomore … She rounded out her time racing for CU with 22 top 10 finishes in 30 career races and four podium finishes.
2018 (Senior)—She competed in eight races, finishing 20th or better each time, and missed four during the regular season with a back injury … After returning from the injury, she had six races and finished 10th or better each time, getting back to her All-America level that she displayed earlier in her career when she was not sick or injured … At the RMISA Championships, she placed eighth in the 15K freestyle and ninth in the 5K classic race … Top finish of the season was at the UNM Invite, where she placed fifth in the 5K classic race.
2017 (Junior)—She only competed in three meets on the season, as illness caused her to miss the two meets in Alaska and kept her from qualifying with enough points to compete at the NCAA Championships.

Her top meet was at the Montana State Invitational where she finished second in the 5K freestyle race and was third in the 15K classic race; both finishes matched the best of her career in each discipline.
