For over 20 years, nobody has been able to reach Christina Campion’s 2003 record as Peddie’s all-time basketball scoring leader among boys and girls.

In the 2002-03 Prep ‘A’ Division championship game, she scored 25 points in a 73-35 victory over Lawrenceville, and knocked down a free throw with 1:56 left in the fourth quarter to shatter the record of 1,595 points set nearly a century ago by E. Mount Norris ’24. In her final high school game for Peddie, Campion scored 21 points against Bloomfield Tech to finish her career with 1,618.

The senior helped to guide the Falcons to their seventh-consecutive Prep A championship as a captain that year. She was named Player of the Year (Prep) by The Trentonian.

Campion also earned Prep School Player of the Year by The Trentonian in 2000-01 and spearheaded the offense with 448 points for a team-high 17.9 average. During the 2000-01 campaign, in which the team finished at 23-2, she hit double figures on 23 occasions.

Campion is also a Catholic Youth Organization Hall Of Fame Member of Mercer County. During her playing time at Peddie, she was the face and leader of the program and greatly contributed to the elite status the basketball program had achieved.

Campion’s point total was even more impressive due to the fact she played alongside an all-star cast full of McDonald’s High School All-Americans: Bridgette Mitchell ’06, Crystal Goring ’05 and Jenna Graber ’02.

And her success at Peddie took her far: She went on to play Division I basketball at the University of Richmond from 2003-07, where she was a captain her final two years.

Campion reached double figures 40 times in her college career. In Richmond’s first game of the season her senior year, she earned her 1,000th point against the then-ninth-ranked Georgia Lady Bulldogs. She finished with 1,261 points at Richmond.

Campion was selected to the A-10 Preseason third and second teams her sophomore and junior years, respectively, and was named to the A-10 All-Rookie team as a freshman and the 2007-08 All-Academic Team.
