TOP TIMES

  • 200y free – 1:50.69
  • 500y free – 4:53.87
  • 1000y free – 10:07.35
  • 1650y free – 16:44.99
  • 400y IM – 4:27.21

Campbell is a strong distance freestyler who can drop down to the 200 and is capable in the 400 IM, too. After finishing 7th at the 2017 FHSAA 3A Championships in the 500 free, she placed 3rd in the 200 free and 4th in the 500 at the 2018 edition of that meet a couple of months ago.

Rice finished 2nd at the 2018 Conference USA Championships behind only Florida International. In the 200 free, 500 free, and 400 IM, Campbell is in B final scoring range. Her most impactful event, based on her current bests, is the 1650 free, where she would’ve placed 6th at the conference meet last season.

Rice’s top miler right now is Hanna Huston, who is a senior and will graduate after this season. Campbell joins Virginie Qian and Chloe Corbitt for Rice’s incoming class.

If you have a commitment to report, please send an email with a photo (landscape, or horizontal, looks best) and a quote to [email protected].
