Cameron Burrell, a former national champion 100-meter sprinter at University of Houston and the son of Olympic gold medal-winning parents, has died. After claiming a state title at Ridge Point High School, Burrell won the NCAA individual national championship in the 100-meter dash in 2018, something his father Leroy Burrell did 28 years prior. Burrell came from an iconic track and field family. His godfather, Carl Lewis, won nine gold medals and is one of the most well-known athletes in history. The school will have counseling services available to track and field athletes, coaches and athletic department staff members.
