Fresh Four: Sharane Campbell

Sept. 19, 2011

NORMAN, Okla. -- The University of Oklahoma women's basketball team introduces four freshmen in 2011-12 that have the enviable task of continuing the program's incredible success. Following the graduation of a senior class that played in two Final Fours and won a record number of games inside the Lloyd Noble Center, this quartet is quickly developing their own identity with the team's returning letterwinners.

OU freshman Sharane Campbell has two loves, sports and animals. She's grown up with a ball in one hand and reins in the other.

Raised in Spencer, Okla., Campbell developed toughness at an early age while breaking the family's horses throughout her childhood. In high school, Campbell led Star Spencer to a state championship as a freshman and realized her dream was becoming a veterinarian.

Rated as high as the No. 12 small forward of the 2011 class, Campbell played all five positions throughout her career. Listen to Campbell discuss the shift to becoming a full-time guard, how her career plans took shape and what she thinks of her freshmen teammates.
