Cameron Basden made an immediate impact as the collegiate track and field season swung into gear, helping Barry University get their 2026 spring campaign off to a flyer at the Spartan Open.
Competing in the heat of Tampa, Florida, Basden showcased his off-season preparation in the Men's 200-metres, sprinting to an impressive seventh-place finish. His time of 22.22 seconds did more than just secure a top-ten spot in a competitive field; it etched his name into the university's history books. The performance stands as the fifth-fastest time ever recorded in the event for Barry University, setting a high bar for the remainder of the season.
The meet served as the primary curtain-raiser for the Buccaneers' men's and women's teams, with Basden’s record-breaking turn providing the headline for a squad looking to make its mark in the Sunshine State Conference. For the Bermudian international, the result signals a significant step forward in his collegiate development as he looks to shave even more time off his personal best in the coming weeks.
