They first met as 8-year-old girls on the same soccer team in Dayton. They ended up at Springboro High School together where they became top athletes and great friends and that connection carried straight over into their college careers.
Cameron Campbell became a sprinter on the Wright State track team and Kasey Hughes was the point guard on the Baldwin Wallace basketball team.
In the past year — ever since that deadly night in the Oregon District — their bond has deepened even more.
“We’re like sisters now,” Kasey said.
“It’s like we’re attached at the hip,” Cameron said with a laugh.
Last month — each with her 11-year old sister in tow — they went to Kasey’s grandparents’ beach house on North Carolina’s Outer Banks.
“It was an all-girls trip and we were having a great time,” Cameron said. “It was my sister’s first time seeing the ocean and on the Fourth of July we went down to the beach for the fireworks. I didn’t expect it to bother me, but as soon as they started going off, it hit me."
