The Pella Christian softball team said farewell to four seniors when their season ended against Van Meter on July 8th, but not before they left their mark on the school.

Seniors Natalie Harrill, Alexa Dunsbergen, and Trinity Vos began their high school softball careers for the Eagles as eighth graders and were joined by Sydney Nunnikhoven as freshman. In their time at Pella Christian, the four players combined to record 315 hits, 191 RBIs, and 133 runs. As juniors the four were key contributors to the Eagles first State Tournament softball team since 1990. Eagles Head Coach Karen Harrill said the impact these seniors had on the Pella Christian softball program is hard to measure.

“What they’ve done for this team is priceless honestly, and they’re gonna be hard shoes to fill. So, I feel bad for them because they’re high school year is over. But we will definitely miss them, but next year we have a lot of potential. We have a lot of talent. So, we will fill their spots. I’m not sure with who yet, but it’s just one of those things when the seniors leave it’s a hard thing. And yeah, they were huge component to our state run last year.”

Natalie will major in international business at Iowa State University this upcoming school year. Alexa will attend the University of Northern Iowa and study exercise and movement science. Sydney will major in elementary education at Dordt University this year, and Trinity Vos will attend Central College and play volleyball while studying business.
