Hope College sprinter Liam Danitz lowered his school record in the 200 meters and bolstered his bid to qualify for the NCAA Division III Championships in the event this weekend at the University of Saint Francis (Illinois) Fighting Chance Invite.

The Flying Dutchmen recorded two more collegiate-best performances during the two-day meet: senior Derik Smith in the discus and junior Erickson Kunzler in the 800 meters.

Danitz (West Branch, Michigan / Ogemaw Heights HS) topped a 52-runner field in the 200 by clocking a collegiate-best time of 20.92 seconds.

The time ranks Danitz fifth in the nation. Senior David McNiff (Norton Shores, Michigan / Mona Shores) posted a collegiate-best 22.52 and placed 29th.

In the 100-meter final, Danitz finished fourth after clocking a run of 10.76 seconds. During preliminaries, Danitz had the second-fastest time at 10.55.

In the 4×400 relay, Hope clocked a fourth-place run as sophomore Dylan Terpstra (Hudsonville, Michigan / Hudsonville), senior Joshua Ennen (Zeeland, Michigan / Zeeland West), freshman Gavin Bush (Bloomfield Hills, Michigan / Birmingham Seaholm) and Danitz went 3:19.84.

In the 800 meters, Kunzler (Marne, Michigan / Catholic Central) won his invitational section by recording a run of 1:52.64. It was a collegiate-best for Kunzler and the team’s top performance in the event this season.

Senior Lucas Guidone (Chicago, Illinois / Taft) took sixth in another invitational section at 1:54.92.

In the 1,500 meters, freshman Logan Begeman (Portage, Michigan / Portage Central) finished 10th in the invitational section at 3:57.44.

In the discus, Smith (Niles, Michigan / Edwardsburg) placed fifth with a collegiate-best toss of 45.84 meters (150 feet, 5 inches).

In the long jump, Smith took 10th with a 6.22 meters (20-5).

WINONA, Minn. – Winona State volleyball has hired Jackson Van Eekeren as an assistant coach, head coach Kristine Pelky announced.

Van Eekeren comes to WSU after most recently serving as an assistant coach at NCAA Division I Kent State University for the last two seasons.

“Jackson is a fantastic addition to our Warrior staff,” noted head coach Kristine Pelky. “He brings experience as a collegiate player and coach that will have an immediate impact on our training. His passion for the game and enthusiasm for learning will bring great energy to our program and we are so excited to have him here!”

Van Eekeren was a five-year team member at Hawaii, including the 2021 national championship season. The Rainbow Warriors won nearly 85% of its matches during his five seasons as a student-athlete. He earned a spot on the 2019 Big West Conference Commissioner’s Honor Roll.

The Naperville, Ill. native was a three-year varsity player at Benet Academy, where he played for his mother who was a Division I volleyball student-athlete at Illinois. He was twice an All-East Suburban Catholic Conference performer. Van Eekeren also competed in USA High Performance during his prep years.

Van Eekeren earned a Bachelor of Business Administration with a Finance concentration from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in May 2020 and completed a Master of Science in Finance in July 2021.

Winona State volleyball is set to open their 2025 season on Friday, Sept. 5 in Detroit, Mich.
