So. Dan Ballard Finishes 66th at NAIA National Cross
Country Championships
 Houghton,
N.Y.-
So.
Dan Ballard (Syracuse, NY)
finished 66th in the 2006 NAIA National Cross Country
Championships in Louisville, KY. Ballard finished the race with a 26:09
competing against 255 other qualifiers from across the country.
Ballard is the
first representative from Houghton College to compete at the Nationals in some
time. Ballard was also selected to the Second Team All-AMC
Conference Team.
Houghton College
has deep
and
solid
roots in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, where our
teams use their commitment to excellence, both on the field-of-play
and
in the classroom, as a platform for their strong and
unique
emphasis on Sports Ministry. Their goal is to make a difference
for the Kingdom
on campus, in Allegany County,
in the Northeast and
around
the world.
Houghton is one of only 13 institutions who have been hand-selected
by the NAIA to serve as "Champions of Character" Program Centers, opening the door
for Houghton to be a leader,
both in the Northeast and
nationally, in character education.
Through hands-on,
innovative community outreach initiatives, Houghton coaches and
student-athletes
are working together to change the culture of sport and
to change our culture through sport.
