Riders’ Campbell looking to set new personal best in final university track meet
Tevaughn Campbell won’t let the burden of expectation weigh him down at his final Canadian university track and field competition.
The Saskatchewan Roughriders cornerback heads to Edmonton this weekend as the defending men’s 60-metre champion. The four-time Canada West titleholder over that distance captured last year’s U Sports crown in 6.67 seconds, a school record and personal-best time.
Campbell will complete his final season of collegiate eligibility in Edmonton for the University of Regina. Ideally, the six-foot, 200-pound Toronto native would like to exit running under 6.67 seconds.
“I’m looking to run a personal best, coming second, third, fourth, it doesn’t really matter to me,” Campbell said. “I know I’ve achieved a lot in my career so (not winning gold) wouldn’t reflect negatively on my abilities.
