Veronica Campbell-Brown - 2003 Barton Community College Track athleteAfter winning three medals in the 2004 Olympics, Campbell-Brown defended her 200m title in the 2008 Olympics.  Had the favored Jamaican 4X100 relay team not been disqualified in the finals for a dropped baton, Campbell-Brown most likely would have left Beijing with two gold medals to equal her 2004 feat.  Team Jamaica is again one of the favorites in the 4X100m relay while Campbell-Brown also enters the 100m with the world’s third best time this year.  Campbell-Brown will most likely need to run nearVeronica Campbell - 2002 Barton Track athlete in 100m finals of Region VI Outdoor Championships 22.00 for a shot a medal in the 200m, a feat she hasn’t done since 2010. Campbell-Brown’s three event Olympics will begin with the 100m preliminary round on August 3 at 4:40 a.m. CDT.   She will then compete in the 200m on August 6 with round one beginning at 1:20 p.m. CDT.  Campbell-Brown will wrap up her competition in the 4X100m relay scheduled to begin at 2:20 p.m. on August 9.
