The Pratt Community College athletic department has awarded their annual female and male athletes of the year. The athletic coaches can nominate an athlete to be considered for the award. Then after the nominations are received each member of the staff has one vote for the female and male athlete of the year.  

Jason Henschel from the wrestling team was named the male athlete of the year. His career record is 82-9 (.901 winning percentage). He is a two-time NJCAA All-American and the 2023 NJCAA National Runner-Up at 133lbs. Henschel is a first team all-conference wrestler and won the NJCAA South Central District Wrestling Championship. Finally, he is a three-time NWCA academic all-American.  

Leticia Tessi from the women's soccer team was named the female athlete of the year. She set a school record as a freshman for most goals scored in a season with 14. The previous record was eight. Tessi recorded six assists and was named the KJCCC Offensive Player of the Year. She was first team all KJCCC and was awarded the KJCCC Player of the Week twice throughout the season.  

“We are honored to recognize these two individuals as Athletes of the Year," said Athletic Director Tim Swartzendruber. "Not only are they deserving because of their athletic accomplishments, but they have been great ambassadors for Pratt Community College. Congratulations to Jason and Leticia.”
