Holland Christian High School’s ‘Athletes of the Season’
HOLLAND, Mich. — Holland Christian High School’s “Athletes of the Season”.
Meghan Bengelink, Aquatics (Senior)
From Girls Varsity Aquatics Coach Lisa Myrick: Meghan comes to practice every day ready to give 100%. She is an extremely hard worker, and she is always eager to improve and implements technique changes when necessary—all while maintaining a great attitude and having fun. In a sport like ours, both self-motivation and support from the team are vital to success in the water. Meghan not only pushes herself; she also inspires her teammates to give their best as well.
Meghan knows how to get up and race. From block to finish, she is trying to beat her competition. She has a fire and passion for what she does—and it shows—giving her the ability to score points for her team and often leading them to a win. Coaching Meg has been my honor.
Kirby Eggers, Soccer (Senior)
From Boys’ Varsity Soccer Coach Dave DeBoer: Kirby has an unrelenting pursuit of excellence and commitment to the game. He’s never satisfied; he’s always working to get better. Kirby is consistent and reliable: I know what to expect from him, every practice, every game. He always works hard and holds himself to a high standard, and his attitude and consistency have a ripple effect on everyone around him.
Kirby is a fantastic attacker. He’s two-footed, strikes the ball well, sees the field well, and is dynamic on the ball. When he was a freshman, Kirby was invited to varsity tryouts, and in the fitness test (beep test), he beat everyone. He instantly earned credibility from the coaching staff as well as his older peers. Kirby is a two-time 1st team all-state player, and he was a team captain this fall. He won the fitness test again, too. During the test, he pushed himself so hard it was almost uncomfortable to watch. Kirby makes everybody, including his coaches, work harder and hold themselves and each other to a higher standard.
