The Wall of Recognition program was started in 2012 for the following purposes:
To honor a culture and tradition of excellence and high achievement by recognizing outstanding Wellington High School Alumni and contributors.
Wellington High held their end-of-year All-Sports Banquet this last Wednesday, May 4. The program, intended to be at the football field, was moved indoors to the high school due to rain. Crusader Club was still able to provide their hot dog and hamburger dinner from the school cafeteria, though, and the show went on in the main gymnasium! Many fine athletes were recognized and honored for their accomplishments throughout the year, and a handful of seniors also received special recognition and awards for their high school careers.
Wellington hosted their Tennis Regional this Friday at the 9th Street Courts. The seedings for the Crusaders were as follows:
#1 Seed Singles - Jax Cornejo (Jr)
#5 Seed Singles - Hunter Worley (So)
