Raising the Level of Competition

By Bruce Wallace

Eagles athletes are headed to college to compete at a higher level….with higher expectations.

The Journal caught up with three former Eagles athletes who are working to get ready for their first college season in three different sports.

IAN MEENTEMEYER – One of the most prolific goal scorers in Eagles soccer history, Ian Meentemeyer will be heading to Central College in Pella, Iowa to play for the Dutch this fall.

KATIE PRICE – Price with pitch for the Westminster Blue Jay next season. An infielder and pitcher for the Eagles, Price said she is looking forward to playing next spring.
