The WHS Powerlifting Team participated in their second meet of the season with another virtual meet, this time hosted by Goddard High School.  The women's team took 3rd, and the men's team took 5th overall in the meet which boasted nearly 530 lifters.  The Crusaders had a several individuals place in the top 3 of their weight division, and the coaches reported that nearly every Wellington powerlifter PR'ed at this meet.  

Winter Homecoming kicks off this week, culminating in the Duke coronation at halftime of the varsity boys basketball game Friday night versus Circle.  The Duke candidates were announced a week ago Friday, and the traditional WELLINGTON.CC formal candidate photos were taken this afternoon!

The young men are escorted by Heidi Gulick, Emma Stover, Jensen Lynnes, Kasiah Richmond, and Jordyn Brown, respectively.

The Lady Crusaders are bringing home the championship plaque from the Wildcat Classic for the second straight year!  One-seed Wellington played host #3 Mulvane on Saturday night for first place.  The Wildcats put up a mighty fight, at one point closing within four points of Wellington, but the Lady Crusaders kept up the pressure defensively and ran away with the game in the fourth quarter to cinch the game with a 16-point lead.  

Three players from Wellington made the All-Tournament selections: sophomores Britt Zeka and Val Norwood and freshman Kylan Gregory.

The high school student council announced the themes for Spirit Week, which runs from January 3 to February 3.

Check back each day for photos from every theme day!
