Cam Levins started his 2015 off in grand style with a nifty double at the 2015 Armory Track Invitational, on 31 January 2015. Winning the mile (3:54.74) and the two mile (8:15.38), with a separation of less than thirty-two minutes was quite impressive. That Levins was barely off the NRs in both the mile and the two mile for Canada was more amazing.
Cam Levins joined the Nike Oregon Project in the spring of 2013. Coach Alberto Salazar had to cut Cam’s mileage, which approached 140 miles a week in college, to bring him into Salazar’s training plan.
In the summer of 2014, Cam Levins took a bronze medal in a very tactical, race to the finish Commonwealth Games’ 10,000 meters.
For his strong performances in January, and his amazing promise in 2015, RunBlogRun has given Cam Levins our SATV+RBR Male Athlete of the Month award for the month of January 2015.
