60-year-old Sheila Johnson is making a comeback for the ages...literally. The retired math teacher made history in February when she made the women's tennis team at Grand Canyon University, becoming the oldest active collegiate tennis player in the nation. Johnson played at Arizona State for three seasons from 1963-65, leaving her eligible to play one more season if she decided to. It took her 43 years, but Johnson is back. She is playing above .500 ball, sporting a 6-5 record in singles! Below is a story run in February about her unbelievable comeback.
