Craig Ball

Hometown: Penn Hills, PA.

Personal Records: 800 – 1:55.55, Mile – 4:21

Why did you begin running? Because I was not allowed to long jump in 7^th grade in a meet and they stuck me in the mile.  I did terrible but wanted to improve so I became a distance runner.

What is your favorite running memory?:  Placing 3^rd as a team at Division III Cross Country Nationals, placing 4^th at WPIAL in the 4x800 in 2003 and pre-meet runs with the MD guys.

Goals for 2008:  To continue to get faster and have fun!
