"Going into the race we felt pretty confident," Ball said. "We had a light workout on Wednesday and I felt that made a difference for us today. Although a lot of our guys didn't have personal bests today, coach said he was very satisfied with the final mile. Our goal now is to take that into our next cross-country meet."
