Flagler College Athletics

Maria Puccio-Ball of the women's cross country team was named as the Athlete of the Month, sponsored by St. Augustine Inn, for the month of November.

She received the athlete of the week honor on Nov. 15.

(from Nov. 15 release) The junior from Oviedo, Florida played a major role in Flagler College winning its third consecutive Peach Belt Conference title last Saturday (Nov. 14). The Saints were trailing the University of North Georgia late in the race. With 800 meters left in the race, Puccio-Ball moved ahead of a trio of UNG runners. She held that lead all the way to the finish line, which resulted in a six-point swing.
