Hiemstra Becomes Seventh 12-Letter Athlete

Mason Hiemstra made history in his time at Alliance High School, becoming the school’s seventh athlete to letter 12 times.

A ceremony was initially planned during the 2020 Alliance Invite Track Meet, but COVID-19 caused the event to be postponed. On Saturday, at halftime of the boys basketball game, Hiemstra was presented with a plaque, recognizing his achievements.

Hiemstra, who graduated in 2019, earned 12 varsity letters: one in cross country, three in football, four in basketball and four in track and field.

Hiemstra attends Hastings College, where he plays basketball with the Broncos.
