CRUSADER FOOTBALL 2024 SCHEDULE

Varsity Lady Crusaders Golf had their first action on the season with the State Preview Tournament at Hesston yesterday. Over 20 4A teams from around the state were invited to play at the location where the state tournament will be held at the conclusion of the season. With some new faces in the lineup, Wellington was able to persevere through the heat and place 3rd as a team! Additionally, junior Presley Cornejo medaled with a 10th place individual finish!

The bridge tradition continues and evolves!  Every year the football players work in the pre-season to repaint the old bridge at Sellers Park in a tradition dating back decades.  Who is involved from year to year has evolved, as it was at one point only the senior football players and cheerleaders who contributed to the painting, but in the last few years, it has been a wider group of students putting in the work.

It was "Media Day" for the Lady Crusader Tennis program this evening!  Coaches Aufdengarten and Adams have 17 girls out for the team this season, nearly half of which are plucky freshmen!  Returning players include the four seniors Kadynce Aufdengarten, Addie Hinshaw, Sullivan Parkey, and Scout Douglas; juniors Cruz Cornejo, Logan Robinson, and Jordan Koehn (not pictured); and sophomores Scotlyn Ewing and Ellie Hays.  They're joined by eight freshmen, Sienna Goodrum, Gracie Thomson, Addi Thomson, Georgia Shinliver, Emma Norris, Laney Meeker, Berkeley Easterberg, and Madalynn Wonser.

The annual WHS Volleyball scrimmage event is on the books for next Thursday, August 29, at WHS!  Come watch the high school teams compete against each other and with an alumni team in this showcase event.  If you feel moved to donate a pack of water or Gatorade to the team, all the better!  The team takes these donated drinks with them on the road to their many weekend tournaments throughout the season.  

On March 2 this year, Wellington hosted the 4A State Powerlifting Meet during which the Lady Crusaders lifted enough weight as a team to earn their spot at the top of the podium, and now their CHAMPIONSHIP RINGS have arrived!!  In a small gathering this afternoon in the freshly painted weight room, Coach Matthew Mason presented his lifters with hefty rings with "STATE CHAMPIONS" emblazoned on the face with the Crusader logo set in the middle.  On one side, it reads "Wellington Crusaders 2024" with a weight plate, and on the other side is the student athlete's name, a barbell, and "11,275 lb
