PITTSBURG, Kan.- In Josh Cambell's nearly two years as head coach at Pratt Community College, the track program has elevated its status not only in the KJCCC, but in the eyes of the nation as well. On Saturday, seven of Pratt's athletes saw their work pay off in All-American currency.

Tebogo Maseema, Pratt's highest placer in his respective event, placed third in the triple-jump. His mark of 14.49m was also a season-high, as his placement in the top-eight granted him All-American honors. Kashawn Baptiste qualified for the finals in the 200m-dash on Friday, and placed fifth overall after clocking in at 21.57 seconds. Baptiste, along with Marvin Jean-Francois, Mark Emillien, and Jamaal Morris Jr., also finished seventh in the men's 4x400 relay, as the group compiled a time of 3:13.99. 

Zach McPhee, Pratt's long distance specialist, took home All-American recognition in the fall at the Cross Country and Half-Marathon Championships. He added to his trophy case after finishing seventh in the mile run, finishing with a time of 4:20.22. McPhee also participated in the 3000m run, where he finished 11th. Greg Curry, competing in the high jump, placed eigth-overall with a height of 1.95m. 

The group now turns its attention to the outdoor season, as Pratt hosts its first-ever track meet on Saturday, March 20 at the new soccer/track complex located next to Green Sports Complex.
