Rajindra Campbell, originally from St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica, competed at Cloud County from 2015-2017. During his two years as a T-Bird, Campbell established school records in the discus, as well as in both indoor and outdoor shot put. Campbell was named the 2017 Men's Field Athlete of the Meet at that year's Indoor Region 6/Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference West Championships in Pittsburg, Kansas, posting a then-school-record setting performance in the shot put with a throw of 17.50-meters (57 ft. 5 in.).

Campbell later went on to compete for the Missouri Southern State University Lions. While in Joplin, Campbell earned All-American honors in the shot put at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2019. Campbell set the program's shot put records for both indoor (20.07-meters) and outdoor seasons (19.99-meters), and holds the second best discus throw (58.73-meters) in Missouri Southern history.

Campbell, representing his home country of Jamaica, became the first former T-Bird to receive an Olympic medal, winning bronze in the men's shot put in the 2024 Summer Games in Paris, France. Campbell, making his Olympics debut, recorded a massive second round throw of 22.15-meters to win the bronze medal. In doing so, Campbell became the first Jamaican man to win an Olympic medal in a throwing event.
