It was a wet and rainy evening last Friday when the Crusaders were on the road again to take on the Wichita Collegiate Spartans. The weather did not hinder the Spartans one bit as they racked up 470 yards of offense on their way to a 56-20 win.
The WHS girls golf team was able to squeeze in a tournament on Friday, September 15 since the beginning of the week’s home tourney was rained out, so the Lady Crusaders trekked to McPherson to play at Turkey Creek. Three of the girls PR’ed, two medaled, and the varsity team placed 4th overall against several teams they would see at a State appearance.
3rd - Taryn Viramontes (So) - 78 (Medalist)
13th - Claire Ginter (So) - 90 (Medalist)
Presley Cornejo (So) - 98 - PR
Evelyn Trafecanty (Sr) - 103 - PR
Aubrey Hunt (Sr) - 112

Per Coach Aufdengarten:
Top finishers were #2 Doubles Kadynce Aufdengarten and Logan Robinson who won their first two matches 8-0, and barely lost the championship match in a tiebreak.
JV Football hosted Clearwater on 9/11 and both teams slipped and slid in the rain throughout, but it resulted in some interesting pics!
Wellington fell to Clearwater 0-28.

On Saturday, September 9, Wellington held its annual home cross country meet for high school and middle school at the Watershed at Hargis Creek. All together, there were 465 runners who participated in the day, and we had 18 high school runners participate across three events. The Lady Crusaders had enough participating in the 2-mile to comprise a team, and they took 1st!
