The Tulip City track and field teams will aim to have plenty of Pella representation at the famous Blue Oval at Drake Stadium at their respective district meets today.
Pella is at home, and will aim to position themselves to send a large group, especially as the boys have spent the entirety of the 2021 season as a favorite to claim the top prize in Class 3A.
Head Coach Brent Van Hauen knows this meet is critical in sending as many events as they can, to ensure they can compete for a state championship and have some additional advantage heading into next week.
While all boys and girls teams in all four spring sports have had their first competitions of the year from Pella High, it’s been an exceptional start and one of the best in program history for the boys track and field team wearing green and while.
The Dutch have swept all scored meets so far with team victories, and have done so against several top Class 3A and 4A teams, with strong performances in particular coming from thrower Kody Huisman, a deep batch of middle distance and distance runners, and a strong core of hurdlers racking up points and 1st place finishes. Pella’s performance at the DCG Mustang Classic has the team atop the Class 3A Varsity Bound power index with 1602 points, with the next closest team in ADM at 1558.
