Cold and cloudy is the forecasted weather for the start of the high school portion of the Drake Relays today. The Blue Oval has already hosted some competition of the multi-event variety on Wednesday, and the high school athletes will take the stage in field events starting today. For Pella High, Chase Van Sant will compete in the second flight of the boys’ long jump. He’ll compete with two other conference foes, J’Von Harris of Oskaloosa and Trey Washington of Dallas Center – Grimes. Also going for the Little Dutch in the field events will be Tyson Wassenaar in the discus at 3:00 p.m., and Emily Holterhaus for the Lady Dutch will try to out-leap the competition in the high jump. Both of Pella Christian’s events occur on Friday; the 4 x 100 meter relay team will compete tomorrow, while Lizzy Van Manen will throw the discus at 9:00 a.m. Full results from Des Moines can be found on KNIAKRLS.com.
