Jamestown Community College's 4th annual Veterans Day 5K Run/Walk raised more than $1,000 to support student veterans and military-connected students. A total of 43 participants took part in the event, which began in the Physical Education Complex parking lot and followed a course around and through the Jamestown Campus.
Top finishers were recognized in three divisions. In the men's 19-and-over division, Nathan Harris placed first, followed by Jared Drocy and Jesse Ernerwein. Kylie Harris took first place in the women's 19-and-over division, followed by Sami Greenwald and Candria Carlson. In the men's 18-and-under division, Joseph Jacques finished first, Alexander Lund second and Michael DiLorenzo third.
The event raised more than $600 through participant registrations, with an additional $400 coming from sponsors. Proceeds benefit JCC's Club Valor, a group of veteran and military-aligned students that organizes the annual event. Some of the proceeds will help send veteran and military-connected students to the Student Veterans of America National Conference in Grapevine, Texas in early January. The event also supports JCC's Veterans Scholarship in Memory of Traci Maybach.
