The Pella Christian girls track and field team has five returning seniors - Amaia Agre, Maisy Meinders, Lexi Terpstra, Meredith Van Wyk, and Bailey Vos - leading the way this season as they look to defend their Class 2A State Title from last spring. The group has been consistent leaders throughout their time in the program, helping the Eagles secure a fifth place finish at the State Meet as freshmen, a runner-up finish as sophomores, and the first girls State Championship last year as juniors.

Why it matters

Pella Christian’s five senior leaders have been instrumental in the team’s recent success, including winning the school’s first girls track and field state title last year. Their continued leadership and experience will be crucial as the Eagles aim to defend their championship this season.

The details

Head Coach Keith Anderson praised the five seniors, saying “You just know what you’re getting with every one of those girls. They come in every day and they work hard, they have a good time, and they’ve been really great about encouraging the underclassmen. So, I really like how they’re coming together as a team and as seniors to show that leadership.” After a fourth place finish in their only indoor meet of the season at the IATC Indoor Championships, the Eagle girls will now turn their attention to the outdoor season, which begins with the Davis County Relays in Bloomfield on Tuesday, March 31st.
