 * Symbol question.svg Article length, date, and compliance with policy have been verified. However, the article does not technically say he grew up in a mining town and in any case I fail to see how that makes the hook more interesting.  I would suggest the "less is more" hook:
 * ALT1: ... that Holly Campbell won the 1930 NCAA Championship in the hammer throw?

 * How about: alt 2 ... that Holly Campbell, a native of Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula, won the 1930 NCAA Championship in the hammer throw? Cbl62 (talk) 19:23, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Like I said, I don't think his place of birth adds anything to the hook, but that is a preference not a requirement. Fact is verifiable, so we are good to go.
