The WMS 7th and 8th grade Scholar's Bowl Teams hosted teams from Andover Central, Derby North, Mulvane and Circle on Monday.
Congratulations to the 8th grade team who finished first!! Here are the team results from both classes:
The Wellington Crusaders had "6" student-athletes in competition on Saturday at the Regional 4A Cross Country Meete at El Dorado State Park.
In the Girls 5K, Mackenzie Heacock broke her own WHS School Record with her personal best time of 22.21, finishing 13th. Mackenzie missed qualifying for the State 4A Cross Country Meet next weekend at Wamego by just 1 place. Katrina Dvorak finished 36 with a time of 24.57.
The Lady Crusader Volleyball squad was on fire today at the 4A Sub-State Volleyball Tournament being held at Winfield High School.
A tradition that began back around WWII days continued Friday evening at Sellers Park! Senior Lexi Saffell was crowned the 2017-2018 WHS Duchess. Lexi's escort was Hayden Baker. Other candidates included Mekenna Adams, Abby Lowe, Jenna Rausch and Jill Wiley. Other escorts included A.J. Snipes, Ian King, Austin Sears and Jaden Adams. Seniors Gracie Fink and Arlis Troutman were the child escorts for Charley Wilmoth and Reed Wellington.
It has been a busy and fun day in Crusaderville - a pep assembly at the high school, a parade and rally downtown and then a bonfire back at the high school to bring the day to a close.
The traditional DUCHESS PEP ASSEMBLY took place Thursday afternoon out at WHS - ordinarily held on game day and coronation day (Friday), this year it was on Thursday since school won't be in session Friday. Big crowd on hand to meet the Duchess Candidates and their escorts, watch them compete in a game or two...the Cheerleaders kept everyone fired up along with the Crusader Band!!
Spirit Week continued across the USD 353 school district today - the theme for Thursday at WHS was "THROWBACK THURSDAY" - good participation, here are a few pics from WHS earlier this Thursday morning! No School Tomorrow - Football / Duchess Coronation / & Homecoming Dance are on slate for Friday though!!) (Complete SPIRIT WEEK schedule is linked below)!
Reminder though:
Today @ 2:15PM - DUCHESS PEP ASSY @ WHS
In 1969, Wellington High School won it's first State Football Championship. A member of that squad, John Fisk (aka Robbie) was back in Wellington a few years ago and at that time he shared a song he had written about the first championship in '69 called "SMALL TOWN PRIDE"! We put some current pics at that time with it - so it's time to fire that song up again as we head into Week #2 of district play this Friday with Mulvane.
Spirit Week continued across the USD 353 school district today - the theme for Wednesday at WHS was "GENERATIONS" - good participation, here are a few pics from WHS earlier this Wednesday morning! Tomorrow's theme is THROWBACK THURSDAY (dress from different decades)
