After months of preparation, it all comes down to one meet for the Ball State cross country team. Distance coach Rachel McFarlane says a first-place finish in the team's last meet on Oct. 11 has her runners feeling prepared to succeed this weekend.
"That performance happened at the right time," McFarlane said. "It built our confidence even more and has our squad feeling ready to go for the conference meet this weekend."
As the Cardinals head to the Ottawa Golf Course in Toledo, Ohio for the 2018 Mid-American Conference Championships on Oct. 27, McFarlane says the objective is to continue to improve, just as it's been all season long.
