Wellington hosts varsity tourney

Wellington hosted a varsity and girls invitational tournament this past weekend, December 10.  Results are below, and we have MANY PICS thanks in large part to WHS wrestler and former yearbook staff member Conner Walker.  Conner, with an assist by fellow wrestler Derrick Lowe, took all the photos of the morning matches while the wellington.cc camera was in Andover for swimming.  Thanks so much, Conner and teammates, for pics from this meet and previous meets!  We appreciate you!!
