As a coach and as an athlete, it’s always nice to see a familiar face or two on a team as you begin practice and preparation for a season. For Coach Jocelyn Meinders and her Pella Christian cross country team, she will be seeing several of the same runners and even some new ones for the 2014 campaign. Practices began this week for cross country, and Coach Meinders says the entire team has had a good attitude about them. Pella Christian will begin their season with the Central College meet, hosted by Pella High, on September 6.
