Nastassja Campbell finishes third at Trond Mohn Games in Norway...

BERGEN, Norway--Alum Nastassja Campbell (Paul Merca file photo) led a trio of former Washington Huskies that competed at Tuesday night's Trond Mohn Games in Bergen.

Campbell finished third in the pole vault with a best of 14-2.5 (4.33m), as Norway's Kitty Faye won with a best of 14-10.5 (4.53m).

Campbell needed two tries at the opening height of 13-10.5 (4.23m), and another pair at the second bar of 14-2.5 (4.33m). Her event was moved indoors due to the cold and windy conditions.

In the 5000, alums Izzi Batt-Doyle and Eleanor Fulton finished fourth and seventh.

Batt-Doyle, who is doing an altitude training stint in Font-Romeu, France, ran 15:24.64 in less than ideal weather conditions, while Fulton clocked 15:28.93.
