After Clark, Camacho attended the University of Texas at San Antonio and tried out for the first iteration of the Roadrunners’ women’s basketball team. Camacho became one of two walk-ons at the dawn of a new women’s basketball program.

Now, with nearly four decades under her belt, Camacho has accumulated over 800 wins across Veterans Memorial, Wagner, Holmes, Burbank and Judson High Schools.
