The Clarion April 16, 1990 Page 11 Cambell is 2nd American at XC race in France by Michelle Layman Clarion Reporter Jeff Campbell, competing in the World Cross Counu-y Championships in Aux-Les-Baines, France, March 24, finished second among the Americans and 60th of the 240 runners from all over the world. Back home at BC, Campbell said, "I thought that I ran a good race but afterward I felt like I could have pushed just a little harder than I did. I was just glad to be there with the best runners in the world." The world-class meet gave Campbell a new perspective. He said, "Some of the advantages of being able to go to the World Cross Counu^ Meet is that I gained a lot of experience. I got to train with USA's best runners. I ran with Ed Eyestone, who won the 1988 Olympic Trials in the marathon. I also ate breakfast with Lynn Jennings, who is the best women's distance runner in the world. Campbell described the course as "pretty flat with a couple of upgrades in the back part. It also had a four-foot jump in it that was hard. Wc had to jump it four three times." Getting to go to Europe was an added bonus for Jeff, who's had two years of French. "France was a beautiful place," he said, "It was rolling with mountains and very green grass. I liked it a lot. The people seemed to be real nice to me, I guess because I was trying to speak their language." The five American runners also got to do some sightseeing. "One day wc went to the Swiss Alps," Campbell said. "We went to Mount Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe. We took a cable car to the top which is 14300 feet up. It was incredible.... you wouldn't believe the difference between their mountains and the mountains here." The race will help Campbell along with his goals as a ninncr. He said, "My future plans arc to try out for the senior men’s world cross country team. I woukl also like to try out for the Olympic team in 1992 and 19%. Probably the 1996 Olympics would be more reasonable." Campbell said there was only one drawback about the trip: "missing six days of classes...."
