Despite a pair of proms for Tulip City high school students, multiple athletes will compete today.

The Pella Lady Dutch Soccer team is hosting an invitational with North Polk and Des Moines Roosevelt beginning at 9 a.m.

Later this morning, Pella and Pella Christian’s track teams will travel to Oskaloosa for their annual invitational. Both Pella Head Coach for the boys Brent Van Hauen and girls coach Dak Rasmussen will be shorthanded as the Little and Lady Dutch prepare for prom. Rasmussen says it’s a big opportunity for young athletes to get quality varsity experience.

The event featuring seven other schools begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Lacey Sports Complex.
