The two seniors discussed their time as Hope College student-athletes, the Hope Athletics mission of academic success, competitive excellence and transformational experiences, and competing for two of the nation’s top athletic programs.

Holtrop (Walker, Michigan / Kenowa Hills HS) and Wesley (Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan / Grosse Pointe North) also shared about their mission trip to Zambia last summer with the college’s Sports Evangelism to Equip Disciples (SEED) program.

A business major, Holtrop was a key leader on the Flying Dutchmen’s American Collegiate Hockey Association Division 3 national championship team this season.

Wesley, an exercise science major, also led the Flying Dutch swimming and diving team to a fifth consecutive Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association title and ninth place in the nation, the program’s second top-10 finish in three years at the NCAA Division III Championships.

The podcast episode is part of Hope College’s NCAA Division III Week celebration.
