Hauger won her third overall 3,200 title in a time of 10 minutes, 26.39 seconds, almost 10 seconds ahead of second place finisher Danielle Anderson of Eagan (10:35.53).
One of Minnesota's most decorated distance runners, Hauger won a record fourth consecutive Class 2A state cross country title last fall.
Ali, a junior in his second season of track and field, worked his game plan by staying with the lead pack and using a superior kick to pull away through the final 400 meters.
Ali's time of 8:57.07 broke the Class 2A meet record set in 2007 by Winona's Elliott Heath.
Six players plus head coach Garrett Raboin and assistant coach Ben Gordon are from Minnesota. The tournament’s games will be televised starting Monday.
