NAPERVILLE, IL -- A trio of Calvin athletes had strong first day performances
at at a last chance meet hosted by North Central College on Tuesday and will
look to build momentum on Wednesday.

day of competition in the two-day event with VanderLaan leading a field of nine
competitors with 2,856 points while Hendricks was second with 2,654 points.
VanderLaan has already qualified automatically in the heptathlon for the
upcoming NCAA III Championships while Hendricks has just a provisional
qualifying mark and is looking to improve upon her earlier score.
In the men's competition, Calvin senior Ben Talsma (Western Michigan Christian
High School) had a strong first day in the decathlon as he was able to build a
total of 3,413 points. Talsma is currently second in a field of nine
competitors. Talsma has also posted an NCAA III provisional qualifying score
in the event earlier this year but needs a better performance to advanced to
next week's NCAA III Championships.
