Prep Athlete of the Week - Nick Slagter - Jenison Boys Bowling

A 3.93 student at Jenison High School, Nick is a 4-year varsity team member and captain of the Wildcats' boys bowling team. In his 4-year career on the lanes, Nick has been all-conference and all-area every year, and this past weekend in the Division 1 state tournament, he finished state runner-up individually, which earns him all-state honors for the second year in a row! What really makes Nick standout though as a student-athlete is his willingness and passion to coach and help others. He coaches his fellow teammates and in junior bowling leagues in the area, and he also helps coach an 11u travel baseball team when he is not playing himself for the Jenison varsity team. Very active in his churches' youth program, Nick has also traveled to take part in several mission trips through his church.
