WHS Class Night is a time to pay tribute and honor the many achievements of the present graduating class at Wellington High School. The list of achievements is long for this group of graduates, a class that has excelled in areas all up and down the spectrum - a classy bunch!

Coach Ginter reports, "today the Crusader golf team finished second at the 4A regional golf tournament at Tallgrass Country Club in Wichita qualifying the team for the state tournament to be held at Quail Ridge Golf Course in Winfield next Monday. I was very proud of our young men today and their performance on a golf course that played very tough. Blake Saffell was the individual 4A Regional Champion for the second consecutive year, winning on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff.
The WMS Knights and Lady Knights, after only having "2" meets during the regular season due to rain and more rain, had only sunshine and a light breeze to deal with at the 2019 Patriot League Track Meet at Rose Hill Monday. (This meet had been postponed twice last week). All the results and many pics below - brought to you by a much kinder and gentler Mother Nature, thus far this week anyway. :)
I don't do ATHLETE OF THE WEEK picks, etc...if I did though, Tyler Brown (WHS JR) would be my choice this go-round. This young man participates in "2" Spring Sports, Tennis & Track. This is Tyler's 1st year to play Tennis and is part of the Wellington Regional 4A Championship Tennis Team that qualified for the State 4A Tennis Meet in Pratt.
ON FRIDAY:
Tyler played "2" rounds of State 4A Tournament (Singles) Tennis in Pratt, late morning to early afternoon.
STATE 4A BOYS TENNIS in Pratt. (SATURDAY UPDATE)
John Long and Kade Adams came up short against Pennington / Bigilius of Wichita Trinity this morning, at the State 4A Boys Tennis Tournament in Pratt, losing 3-9 and ending their 2019 Season! Congrats to both and to Hunter Bryant and Tyler Brown! All "4" will return next year as will numerous other tennis talents - many more good things to come on the courts at Wellington!!
The WHS VARSITY TRACK & FIELD team were in action Friday at Andale HS at the AVCTL DIV IV Track & Field League Meet. Originally scheduled to take place at Rose Hill, the event venue was changed due to flooding in the Rose Hill area.
It took 3-4 days to get 'er done but the Varsity Crusader Baseball Squad finally squared off against the Goddard Lions (@ Goddard), after similar attempts (@ Wellington) failed on Tuesday and Thursday due to rain. The 2nd reschedule for today at 4PM worked out, (at least for the first game and the Senior Night ceremonies). I left after that and it was beginning to sprinkle. Final results are not in yet so not sure of the outcome of the nightcap.
