VEENSTRA NAMED TO NABC DIVISION III ALL-DISTRICT FIRST TEAM
Post-season honors continue to roll in for Calvin sophomore Jeremy
Veenstra of the men's basketball team. A native of Kalamazoo and a
graduate of Kalamazoo Christian High School, Veenstra was named to the
Division III All-District First Team by the National Association of
Basketball Coaches (NABC). Veenstra was the third-leading vote-getter
among 11 All-District honorees in the Great Lakes Region with only
seniors Kris Oberdick of Ohio Northern and Ryan Taylor of Wittenberg
receiving more votes. As the top vote-getter, Oberdick also receives a
spot on the NABC Division III All-American First Team while Taylor earns
a spot on the second team.
Veenstra is one of two players from the MIAA to receive All-District
honors as junior Andrew Neidlinger of Albion was named to the second
team.
It marks the third consecutive year that a Calvin men's basketball
player has received NABC All-District honors as Aaron Winkle was named
to the first team in 1999 and 2000.
