Cambrya Jones
22, is a Pittsburgh, PA native and a 2016 Olympic hopeful. Jones attended the University of Pittsburgh and graduated in 2012 with a Bachelors in History. Jones has been a Big East Champion and NCAA Championship qualifier multiple times, a feat that is extraordinary. As a sprinter, she holds two PITT records, one for the 100m dash (11.28s) and the other for the 200m dash (22.91s). Her specialty is the 200m dash. With a time of 22.71 seconds, she is sure to beat quite a few guys in a race. Last year shortly after graduation, Cambrya competed in the Olympic trials that took place in Eugene, Oregon and raced one her idols, 4-time gold medalist Sanya Richards-Ross. Can you imagine being in the same race as your idol? Cambrya finished fourth in her heat and 24th overall with a time of 23.39. This was a great accomplishment for a 21 year old a few months removed from college. Jones represented the USA in the 200m dash at the Five Nations Match that took place in Scotland a few weeks ago.
