STATE 4A BOYS TENNIS in Pratt. (SATURDAY UPDATE)
John Long and Kade Adams came up short against Pennington / Bigilius of Wichita Trinity this morning, at the State 4A Boys Tennis Tournament in Pratt, losing 3-9 and ending their 2019 Season! Congrats to both and to Hunter Bryant and Tyler Brown! All "4" will return next year as will numerous other tennis talents - many more good things to come on the courts at Wellington!!
The WHS VARSITY TRACK & FIELD team were in action Friday at Andale HS at the AVCTL DIV IV Track & Field League Meet. Originally scheduled to take place at Rose Hill, the event venue was changed due to flooding in the Rose Hill area.
It took 3-4 days to get 'er done but the Varsity Crusader Baseball Squad finally squared off against the Goddard Lions (@ Goddard), after similar attempts (@ Wellington) failed on Tuesday and Thursday due to rain. The 2nd reschedule for today at 4PM worked out, (at least for the first game and the Senior Night ceremonies). I left after that and it was beginning to sprinkle. Final results are not in yet so not sure of the outcome of the nightcap.
The WMS & WHS Choirs' "GRATITUDE CONCERT" was an awesome event Thursday evening at WHS. A large crowd was on hand to enjoy the music of our 6th through 12th graders, under the direction of Jessica Coldwell and accompaninest Sherry Willis.
A variety of songs were presented, including at least one the Crusader Singers performed at Carnegie Hall in February. Thursday's concert in part, was the choir's way of thanking the Wellington Community for all their support. The group raised around $80K for that trip of a lifetime to Carnegie.
The WHS Varsity Boys Golf Team captured the AVCTL DIV IV League Championship in a weather shortened 9 hole tournament at Rolling Hills Country Club in Wichita today!!
It was the annual SERVICE DAY today at WHS - all of the students either worked around the school or at various locations throughout the city - cleaning, organizing, sorting, painting, etc. etc...
Locations were all around, including Memorial Auditorium, Woods Park, Hibbs-Hooten Stadium, Wellington Health & Rehab, Thrift Shop, Golf Course, Arrowhead Animal Clinic, Sumner Community Hospital, Wheat Capital Manor and other locations as well.
It was an exciting afternoon Friday at WHS, Senior Kayla Billington, accompanied by family, friends, and coaches, signed to DANCE at Cowley College this coming school year 2019-2020!
