OMAHA, Neb. (June 23, 2015) – TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (NYSE: AMTD) is pleased to announce Jeff Campbell of the University of North Dakota will participate in the sixth annual TD Ameritrade College Home Run Derby. The event will be shown live from TD Ameritrade Park here on ESPN on July 2 at 7:30 p.m. CT.
Campbell recently finished an impressive collegiate career that saw him lead UND in home runs in each of his four seasons. The Clearwater, Fla., native slugged 32 career round-trippers-- third-most in school history-- including a Western Athletic Conference-leading 11 homers this season. He hit .365 with 48 RBI in his final campaign. He hit for the cycle – UND's first in its NCAA Division I era – and notched a save as well in the regular season finale at New Mexico State. He was a First Team All-WAC selection in 2015.
Joining Campbell in the 2015 College Home Run Derby to date are:
- Eric Gutierrez, Texas Tech University (2014 runner-up): Gutierrez, who broke the College Home Run Derby record a year ago with 52 home runs, earned All-Big 12 first team honors this season after hitting .315 with four home runs, 14 doubles and a team-leading 46 RBI and earned the ABCA Rawlings Gold Glove as top defensive first baseman in college baseball.
- Colton Shaver, Brigham Young University
- Will Craig, Wake Forest University: A consensus All-American, Craig put together one of the best offensive seasons in program history. The sophomore hit .382 with 13 homers and 58 RBIs, starting all 53 games for the Demon Deacons. The ACC Player of the Year led the nation in RBIs, home runs, slugging percentage and total bases at different parts of the season.
