Pratt, Kan. - About a month ago, the Pratt Community College Beaver cross country team traveled to Tallahassee, FL for the National Junior College Athletic Association Cross Country and Half Marathon Championship. The events were hosted over the weekend of November 12. 

The sole female running for the Beavers was freshman Jamaira Ross. Ross finished 17 in the race with a time of 19:13:60 just two sports short of finishing her first season as an All-American. In addition, Ross broke her own school record she set back on September 30 at the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival in Fayetteville, AR. 

Sophomores Collin Turley and Crispus Atukwatse both competed in the men's 8K race for the Beavers. Turley finished 51 with a time of 26:59. Atukwatse finished his race in 139 place with a time of 30:38:10. Both runners also competed in the Half Marathon Championship which took place on November 15. Turley finished 34 with a time of 1:15:32 with Atukwatse finishing 58 place with a time of 1:18:58.
