Campbell took second overall in the event and earned a provisional qualifying mark for nationals this weekend. His time is the 12th best in the nation heading into the weekend. Campbell also took second in the 60-meter dash, with a mark of 6.81 in the finals. In the prelims, Campbell ran 6.86 and 6.83 in the semis.
