Kemoy Campbell picked for 2nd place at NCAA Div 1 XC Championships ;
NCAA D1 South Central Regional
November 15, 2013 in Waco, TX
Men
- 10,000 Meter Run - Kemoy Campbell (University of Arkansas) 29:41.30 SB; ran comfortable into 2nd place
Kemoy Campbell is set to rewrite the record books for the NCAA Div 1 XC, his home country the island of Jamaica, and the entire Caribbean. Track enthusiast will be watching his performance this week end in Indiana.
I predict that Kemoy is slated to upset the establishment. He ran very comfortable at the South Central Regional with a Season best of 29:41.30. Whenasked if he can go under 27 minutes; Kemoy blushed and said we will see. The favorite for the day is Kennedy Kithuka who already has laid claim that he will be running under 27; so catch me.
With that challenge, we expect Kemoy to stir up the dust on the grassy field. Should the race be neck and neck with 1500 meters to go, I predict a horse race to the fininsh line, with Kemoy pumping to the line first. Remeber he has a tremendous kick in those powerful legs.
Milesplitja is on standby with onsite reporting at the end of the day.
