(San Francisco, CA) Sun Devil high jumper Grace Campbell was named the Pac-12 Women’s Field Athlete of the Week for her performance at Baylor’s Michael Johnson Invitational last week, the conference announced today. Campbell set a new personal record after jumping 1.83m/6.00. That mark moved her to No. 3 in the ASU record books, No. 6 in the NCAA West Region, and No. 9 in the NCAA. This is ASU’s second Athlete of the Week honoree of the season following Turner Washington picking up the accolade on April 4.

Michael Johnson Invitational Recap
Campbell entered the meet looking to improve her lifetime best 1.81m/5-11.25. It didn’t take long to do, as she hit four consecutive heights on the first attempt, including 1.83m/6.00. She couldn’t eclipse 1.86m, but her 1.83m marked the fourth consecutive meet she registered a new personal record. ASU’s women’s high jump top-3 records hadn’t been touched since 1998 prior to Campbell’s feat.
