The Varsity Tennis girls trekked to Pratt on Saturday for the Pratt High School Varsity Invitational where they finished 3rd as a team, and as Coach Aufdengarten explains, "would have finished 1st or 2nd, but they asked us to move our #2 singles to #1 singles to balance out the pools, so we did not get points in that spot."
Cross Country hosted a middle school and high school meet at the Hargis Creek Watershed this weekend with ideal weather and over 400 runners across all events. The high school races kicked off at 9:30 after the middle school portion of the meet was complete, and our WHS athletes had some standout results! Coaches Showman, Young, and Wallace can be proud!!

The Freshman/Sophomore Volleyball team hosted a quad yesterday with Circle, McPherson, and Andale. Jenna Rausch (WHS '18) has joined the volleyball staff and coached this squad in their first home action of the season. The girls had a nail-biter of a first match against Circle. Wellington lost the first set, but rallied and won the second 28-26, and their momentum carried them to a win 15-12 in the third set. The rest of the night went a little rougher, with losses to McPherson and Andale. This is a spirited group of athletes with a lot of potential, though!
VARSITY TENNIS RESULTS
Wellington hosted a five-team Round Robin meet yesterday afternoon and took FIRST OVERALL!
Freshman Logan Robinson played in the #1 Singles slot for this meet, and ended up in a 3-way tie going 2-2 on the day, but finished 2nd overall after tiebreaker criteria was considered. Head Coach Brian Aufdengarten said, "Logan never gave up and fought hard, she will get better each day. Our matches are longer than middle school and she will adjust, she has some solid strokes and will be fun to watch."
Varsity Volleyball was at Wichita Collegiate tonight for a triangular with Rose HIll and Collegiate. Coach Hopper reports it was a little bit of a rough start coming off of the four-day weekend with a loss to Collegiate in two sets (17-25 and 11-25), but the team rallied and beat Rose Hill in three sets (25-23, 21-25, 25-22)! Hopper says, "We improved with each set and we look forward to carrying the momentum into next Tuesday!"
