A four-time NCAA Regional participant, Kristina Campos is one of the most accomplished student-athletes in the history of NIU women's gymnastics. The Gladstone, Mo., native holds the NIU school record for the all-around and is also tied for the school record on the balance beam.Â

In that same meet, Campos also tied the school record on the balance beam with a score of 9.950 and had a mark of 9.925 on the floor exercise, which is tied for the sixth-best score in school history.Â
Campos went on to be named the 2003 Mid-American Conference Gymnast of the Year and tied for 10th in the all-around at the NCAA Regionals with a then school NCAA Regional record score of 38.950.Â
During her junior season, Campos earned Second Team All-MAC honors and finished 19th in the all-around at the NCAA Regionals.
