All-American Finish and Canadian National Champion
November was an amazing month for Cameron Levins, the SUU Cross Country program and the entire Thunderbird Nation.
On November 21, Cameron earned the title of All-American with a fourth-place finish at the NCAA National Cross Country Championships, earning Southern Utah's second top-five national finish in five years. Teammate Nate Jewkes, a sophomore from South Jordan, Utah, also represented the T-Birds with an 80th-place finish.
Six days later on November 27 in Vancouver, the redshirt senior from British Columbia, Canada, ran to a first-place finish at the Canadian Cross Country Championships and successfully defended his 2010 title.
Congratulations to Cameron and Coach Eric Houle ('81).
