The day began with the long jump, and Campbell managed a distance of 5.17 meters (16’ 11.5”), good for 606 points. A toss of 31.47 meters (103’ 3”) in the javelin earned her another 504 points going into the last event, the 800 meter run. Campbell finished fourth in that race with a time of 2:21.72, good for 800 points.
