Results from Holland Christian Mid-Season Invitational

The Eagles took second place in the Holland Christian Mid-Season Invitational, beating arch rivals East Grand Rapids and Holland Christian. You can view the official results on our Meet Schedule and Results page.

Party Time!

The meet has ended. Eagles took 2nd place!

We expect folks from the meet to start arriving at Siegle's between 5:00 and 6:00pm. See you there!

Correction about Bus to Holland Tomorrow

The bus to Holland tomorrow will be a round trip bus, not one way as previously stated. That means athletes have two options:

1. Ride the bus back to GRCHS, then make their way to Siegle's for the party.
2. Arrange their own ride from Holland directly to Siegle's. Please tell Jeremy if you will not be riding the bus back.

Party Saturday after the Meet

The Siegles will graciously host our second team and family party of the season this coming Saturday, after the Holland Christian Mid-season Invitational. Athletes and families can make their way over to Siegle's house right after the meet. This party is for the entire team - all athletes and families. It is NOT limited to those competing at the invitational in Holland.

The meet usually lasts 3-4 hours, so we expect folks to start arriving at Siegle's from Holland around 4:30 or 5:00pm, but this is only a rough estimate. For those of you attending the party but not the meet, we'll post a note on the website as soon as the meet ends. Twitter and Facebook followers will see that notice right away, and email followers will get an email within 30 minutes. That will give everyone time to start heading over to Siegle's.

Please remember to bring along your assigned menu items:
