The Port Charlotte, Fla. native missed out on becoming just Campbell's third track & field All-American by one spot, as the top eight in the standings earn the distinction.

The field of 12 jumpers that qualified in the prelims on Wednesday each got three jumps and the top nine after the initial jumps received an addition three jumps. Tilly soared 23-10.25 feet in the second of his first three jumps putting him in ninth place and earning three addition tries.

However, he committed fouls on two of his three additions jumps and could not surpass his original mark on his other attempt and finished with 23-10.25 feet as his best jump of the finals.

Dashalle Andrews from Northridge won the individual championship with a jump of 25-02.50 feet coming in his first attempt. Louisville's Tone Belt also recorded that distance, but committed fouls on his remaining jumps dropping him to second place.

His season ends and will go down as one of the most prolific in Campbell history. He was named Atlantic Sun Athlete of the Week four times this year, was All-Conference in two events (long jump & triple jump) and was a Sports Illustrated Faces in the Crowd nominee.

Tilly became Campbell's first-ever regional champion winning the long jump with a leap of 24-08.25 feet in adverse conditions. He entered the meet ranked third in the region, but overcame the windy and smoky weather to beat out North Carolina State's Dexter Adams by half an inch.
