Jamaica’s Rajindra Campbell will be enshrined as a member of the 18th class of the Cloud County Athletics Hall of Fame at halftime of the school’s men’s basketball game against Cowley College on Saturday.
Campbell competed at Cloud County Community College from 2015-2017.
During his two years there, he established school records in the discus, as well as in both indoor and outdoor shot put.
Campbell was named the 2017 Men's Field Athlete of the Meet at that year's Indoor Region 6/Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference West Championships in Pittsburg, Kansas, posting a then-school-record setting performance in the shot put with a throw of 17.50m.
Campbell later went on to compete for the Missouri Southern State University Lions where he earned All-American honors in the shot put at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2019.
Campbell set the program's shot-put records for both indoor (20.07m) and outdoor seasons (19.99m), and holds the second-best discus throw (58.73m) in Missouri Southern history.
This past summer, Campbell became the first former T-Bird to receive an Olympic medal, winning bronze in the men's shot put in the 2024 Summer Games in Paris, France.
Campbell, making his Olympic debut, recorded a massive second round throw of 22.15m to win the bronze medal, also becoming the first Jamaican man to win an Olympic medal in a throwing event.
