The throwing duo of Blake Veenstra an Allison Van Gorp may be the best pair Pella Christian has ever had, and in May, both found state tournament bids in our opening top ten moment of 2018-19 from Eagle Lane. In the week leading up to state qualifying, Veenstra ripped off a discus toss of 173 feet, one inch, shattering the previous school long with that throw at the Pella High Invitational, the final regular season meet. Both Veenstra and Van Gorp qualified as both discus and shot put throwers at the state meet, with Veenstra placing 5th and 6th in the shot and disc respectively and Van Gorp finding a 12th place shot put throw and 9th place discus toss. Both are underclassmen, and will throw again for the Eagles next spring.
