They’ve participated in three indoor meets so far, and even with a youthful team before them, the Pella High boys’ track and field squad has been impressive in March. The Little Dutch looked strong at the Central indoor meet last Friday with several other schools in attendance, had several Top 15 finishes in the ISU indoor invitational amongst over 80 other teams, and have set some early PR’s in various events. Coach Brent Van Hauen says he’s been particularly impressed by how the athletes competing in the field have been doing. Senior Garret Jansen, just days removed from the end of the basketball season, threw a school record in the shot put with a hurl of over 51 feet. The Little Dutch debut outdoors in 2015 tomorrow with a meet at Washington.
