Comments From Men's Head Coach Darren Herrold:

"Another great meet for our Ballard Men's Track Team.  Our athletes continue to improve each meet, and it showed Monday evening with Ballard setting two meet records, breaking one school record, several PR's, and Chance Lande and Jameson Witt going 1-2 in the open 400.  We have 4 men out with an injury, so other athletes are stepping in as needed.  Coach Hokel and I are extremely pleased with our athletes' attitudes, work ethic, and their willingness to compete."
