The WMS 7th and 8th grade Knights wrapped up their respective football seasons Thursday evening down at Sellers Park with a SPLIT.
In the opener, Mulvane defeated the 7th grade Knights 36-00. Overall, the 7th graders went 1-6 on the season.
I was privileged Thursday evening to sit in on a full dress rehearsal for the WHS Drama Department's upcoming Neil Simon production - "FOOLS". The Fall 2017 offering under the direction of first year Drama Instructor Jessica Coldwell is just absolutely superb. The stage setup, the costumes, the make-up, the sound, the special effects, the lighting, the stage crew and of course the actors and actresses nail it!

The WHS Student Body and the infamous Crusader Band gathered in the Commons area just before school was out on Thursday to give "6" young ladies a CRUSADER SENDOFF as they head for State 4A competition this weekend and on Monday.
Four of the boys from the Horticulture class planted mums in the raised bed that was built by the Advanced Ag Welding students last year. On one side the bed says Horticulture and the other side reads WHS with two Crusader heads on it. The fall mums will help to brighten up the building as you come in. The other students in the horticulture class were busy pulling weeds and getting the greenhouse ready for the spring.
The Sumner County Spelling Bee was held Wednesday at Wellington Middle School. Nearly 3 dozen contestants vied for the Champion title and when it was all over, Wellington Middle School's Jax Cornejo, son of Jesse and Airily Cornejo was on top!

Oct. 16 Monday - TEAM or JERSEY DAY
WHS's pioneering Girls Golf team headed to Hays on Monday for Regional 4A action. The weather wasn't very golf-like for sure, cloudy, winds gusting to 35mph and cool temps in the low 50's - not good golfing weather at all. Wellington Freshman Payton Ginter buckled down though and shot a 109, a score that would place her in 12th out of about 50 participants and would advance her on to the State 4A Girls Golf Tournament in Topeka coming up on Monday, Oct. 16th.
The WMS runners had a good showing Tuesday, coming in 2nd place, missing the League Title by just 1 point! Winfield ran both Div. IV (us) and Div. III (other teams) together in each race and it was Hard to determine where we were in the race with another division on the field.
7th Grader Jax Cornejo placed 7th on the ALL Time Best Top 10 list. We came home with 8 Personal Records, 5 individual medals and second place team medals for the 7th grade boys.
The 7th grade basketball team is selling WELLINGTON BASKETBALL gear to help fund a trip in January. The KNIGHTS will be traveling to watch a college game and learn about basketball at the next level.
