The two Olympic hopefuls won their first career USA titles with the victories and pocketed $4000 each for their efforts.
Kampf, 25, a Minneapolis resident and the runner-up in the event last year, clocked 4 minutes, 36.9 seconds to out-leg Alisha Williams of Denver, Colo., second at 4:39.6, and Detroit’s Danielle Tauro, third with 4:40.0.
