Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia - Incoming Maryland freshman Allison Campbell competed in the 2009 Water Polo Junior World Championship last week.

Campbell is a British Columbia native and competed for the Canadian team. Team Canada was knocked out of the competition Thursday after being defeated by the Netherlands 8-6 in the quarterfinal round.

Campbell will join a Maryland squad which is on the rise. The Terps finished third in the 2009 CWPA Eastern Championship, their best finish in program history, and return a skilled roster.
