With a good warm-up of indoor track and field meets under their belt, the Pella High boys have several talented athletes for each event in the early going. Specifically, in the field events, despite graduating Garret Jansen, the Little Dutch had two other throwers that also qualified and placed at the state meet at Drake last year. Tyson Wassenaar placed sixth in the discus in 2015 and Austin Hill was seventh in the shot put, and both have looked very strong at their indoor meets thus far. Coach Brent Van Hauen says they bring more to the team than just their athletic talents. With Pella on spring break this week, the Little Dutch will get back to action against mostly 4A schools in a meet at Waukee on Thursday, March 31.
