PRATT — Macksville's Madison Butler (21:13) continues to shine with a runner-up medalist finish at Thursday's Pratt Cross Country Invitational. Cimarron medalist Courtney Clinesmith (21:09) placed first by four seconds. Macksville's Abigail Ibarra (25:02) placed 20th.

"We came out and ran better this time. We are starting to carry over what we do in practice to the meets," said Macksville coach Mike Hullman. "We need to get that mental toughness when it comes to the second and third miles. I'd like to see our mile averages down a bit. We'll go back and work that much tougher this week. We will have everybody running next week. Karen Hall will return, which will help the girls team."

St. John's dual-sport athlete Uriel Calleros (18:48) placed 11th to lead the Tigers. South Gray's Michael Gallegos (17:39) earned medalist honors ahead of Fowler's runner-up Eli Zortman (17:48).
