Herald photo Scholarly decision for local runner Sometimes having too many choices to make is a bad thing but for Georgetown District High School student Dan Campbell it s a luxury Campbell a member of the track and field team which is competing today Friday at the regional competition in Etobicoke is trying to decide whether to join the of Louisiana or Nebraska ty which have both offered him scholarships Dan Campbell a Grade student at Georgetown Distr ct High School and a member of the track and field team the of some S universities who would like to have him on their teams next year Campbell a long distance runner is train ing for the Ontario track championships and the cross country events he wilt be taking part in over the summer Herald photo The Grade student has pressed scouts from a total of five American S universities with his results in the and metre races the last two years including his first place finishes m all three events at the Halton Championships on May 7 Campbell also took second place honors in 800 metre and third in 1500 and 3000 metre at the Golden Horseshoe Athletic Conference competition on May 16 I could have done better at GHAC which is why I m going to cut out either the or 1500 metre for OFSAA Ontario Federation of Schools Athletic Associations championships be ing held in Sudbury May 31 June There s too much time waiting around between events which is also tinng said Campbell Also helping convince univer sities of his value is the results he has managed in cross country events In the Ferguson Mile in Toronto the first High School stu dent race of the year Campbell placed seventh At the 8 km Bolton Invitational last Fall he finished second among 100 com in the 18 and up age group I planning on doing a lot of weights this summer to help give me more strength and improve my cross country performance For the first time m going to get a trainer to help develop the muscles evently which is very important for a runner Getting somebody to help out is a big step for Campbell who has always motivated himself to tram and improve in the past At this stage of his growth as an athlete Campbell recognizes that attending university will expose him to input from coaches and other trainers on a daily basts I m looking forward to it They II a big help in improving my mechanics and guiding my development It will also help be ing able to work with more people who are at about the same level Judging by the offer made by the University of Louisiana Campbell s skills are enough demand to offer him the chance to lead their long distance team an unexpected honor for a freshman especially one from Canada Personally I was surprised However Canadians are general ly better prepared when entering long distance track teams in university We run eight kilometer events in high school while the Americans run five Campbell said taking on the leadership role would be a big responsibility and not an easy one for a freshman trying to give direction to older students On the other hand he said it would work well towards his long term goal which is to become a teacher of physical education That s what making the decision about the universities so hard Nebraska has a very good reputation for turning out teachers Louisiana has a stable track program with a better than average educational standard It also has nicer weather Campbell said he gets called weekly by the two universities at the top of his list along with a few others for updates on his progress at the various meets taking place Come mid June he said he will have to make a choice about where he will spend the next four years getting his Physical Educa tion and History degrees After I ve completed that 1 11 probably come back and go to Teacher s College in Toronto to get my certificate 1 11 still keep up the running especially with cross country since you don t reach your prime for that until your late 20 and early 30 s Outdoor fun Don be bored this
