Poy, Ball to Compete in Division II Meet

Teresa Poy and Debbie Ball, junior transfers from Cal State Northridge, will be competing for Cal State L. A. in the National Collegiate Athletic Assn. Division II cross-country championships on Saturday in Marshalls Creek, Pa.

Poy ran for Northridge in the 1986 and ’87 national meets, placing 34th as a freshman. Ball, from Newbury Park High, competed for Northridge her freshman year in ’85 and sat out a season before transferring to Moorpark College in ’87. That year she finished 31st in the state meet.

Poy and Ball, CSLA’s Nos. 2 and 4 runners, placed 16th and 27th in the West regional meet hosted by Humboldt State on Nov.4 as the Golden Eagles held off Northridge for second, 85-88. Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, the seven-time defending champion, won the meet with 20 points.
