Wellington played host Saturday to multiple teams out at WHS, at the annual Wrestling Tournament.

Main Gym was most of the Boys on hand for the day's activities. No official results were reported - sorry!. In addition to wellington.cc pics, WHS Yearbook also provided courtesy pics from of their photographers, i.e. Conner Walker, Averie Burns and Mikayla Elmore and staff.

STATE GIRLS DIV II WRESTLING TOURNAMENT 2021 MAT ACTION PICS 02.26.21 - Gallery 2 (pics by Jaxson Irey-Hurt & Steve)

It's been a great season for the Lady Crusader Wrestlers! District Champions! Regional Champions! State Champion (Anna Cullens), State Medalists Kaitlyn Hain & Averie Burns.

Coach McComb had this to say about the 3 DIV II STATE TOURNAMENT participants from Wellington High School.

"Anna Cullens (109 lbs) came up from the middle school with a love for the sport of wrestling.Her desire to be great has pushed her to the level she is! Anna wrestles year-round, attends camps and clinics to enhance her skills, she even has a wrestling mat in her garage! Anna gets up every morning at 5am to work out and stay in shape".

*Kaitlyn Hain (132 lbs) had older brothers that wrestled which probably increased her interest in the sport. She is tough as nails, works hard to get better.Kaitlyn was by far in the toughest weight class in the state. Kaitlynn pinned the runner-up at 138 in a match at Bluestem earlier this year."

*Averie Burns (235 lbs) started her wrestling career on December 1, 2020. She is friends with Kaitlyn and Keeli (team manager). Averie was originally recruited to be a manager as well but was asked if she wanted to wrestle instead and said yes. Averie struggled at first but kept a positive attitude. She was 0-7 going into the Wichita South Tournament. Had been beaten by every girl in her bracket. Everything started clicking for Averie and she went 3-1 that day and finished 2nd in the tournament! After the 0-7 start, she has gone 6-5".

Coach feels "the future looks bright for girls wrestling. With all 3 State placers this year, returning next year. There are 6 others that should be coming back and "2" 8th graders will be moving up to the high school to wrestle.Girl wrestling has taken off and offers great scholarship opportunities at many colleges and universities!"

Anna is Coach McComb's first State Champion, He was the assistant coach when Cody Page won in 2008 and he practiced daily with E.K. Franks when he won his first state title. The middle school program is very important to the high school program, both girls and boys. Coach, as a student-athlete back in the day, didn't enjoy wrestling until it became a "team sport" to him. Middle school is often the first exposure to the sport for many of the kids. He and Coach DeJarnett recruit as many WMS football players as they can to provide them with that exposure to the sport. Many of those wrestle now or did in the past. Lujan, Groom, Young and Wright, all examples. This season was Coach McComb's 9th season as head coach at WHS! GO BIG RED!!

Crusader Wrestling
4A Sub-State @ McPherson HS
Saturday, February 20, 2021

UPDATE

Wrestling update from 4A Sub-State in McPherson. (285 lb) Hagen Wright's "3rd" match today, a must win to qualify for the State 4A Tournament next Saturday in Salina, has ended.

Wrestling against (21-6) Brandon Parker of Abilene, Hagan wasn't able to pull out a victory, losing to Parker by a Fall at the 4:24 mark. Darn it. Hagen has had a great season, now 31-6. He is a junior which means one more shot at State after having made it last season! We are proud of you Hagan...keep lookin forward Crusader!

***********

UPDATE

Just in from McPherson HS, where a 4A Sub-State Wrestling Tournament is being held. WHS Jr. Hagen Wright (285 lbs) is in competition and he just lost by Dec 1-5 to Ryan of Colby. Hagen will fall to the backside (1-1) on the day.

His next match will be against the winner of Parker (Abilene) vs Duell (Goodland) and that match will be a must win for Hagen (31-4) if he's to advance on to the State Tournament. Duell of Goodland has a record of 19-16, Parker of Abilene 20-6.

**********

Good news out of McPherson thus far this afternoon...WHS Jr. Hagen Wright (285 lbs) was victorious in his first wrestling match, pinning Van Scoyoc of Pratt at the 3:59 mark. Hagen is 31-3 at this juncture - his next match will be a tough one, going up against Ryan of Colby (35-4) who won his first match, pinning Bell of El Dorado at the 0:43 mark.

A win will guarantee Hagen a trip to the State 4A Tourney next weekend...a loss, would be just his first and he will fall to the backside of the bracket and battle for 3rd or 4th. Top 4 finishers in each weight class advance on to State action.

GO HAGEN!!!

220 lb. MATT McCOMB SEALS THE DEAL!
Exciting wrestling action out at WHS Thursday evening - league dual action with Mulvane with the league title still up for grabs. Mulvane jumped out early on the Crusaders, winning 3 of the first 4 matches (all by pins) before the Crusaders would begin their rally to victory, secured by 220 lb Matt McComb who unexpectedly and heroically, pinned his opponent to the joyous outcry of fans and teammates - really great stuff! In the end it was Wellington 39 Mulvane 34. Wellington and Mulvane are now both at 3-1 in league, Rose Hill is 1-1 and has duals with Andale and Clearwater soon, those results will determine league results in the end. At worse though, the Crusaders have sealed up at least a CO-CHAMPIONSHIP for 2017. Here are Thursday's results:
106 - Montana Heacock (pin - loss) 0-6
113 - Tim Schmidt (13-9 dec - win) 3-6

WELLINGTON vs MULVANE DUAL PICS 011917

There was Double Dual wrestling action at Clearwater HS Thursday w/ host Clearwater, Andale and Mulvane. The Varsity Wellington Crusaders pulled out 2 league wins, downing Andale 72-10 and downing Clearwater 43-33. Andale is in a 2 day large invitational at Basehor-Linwood today and Saturday so they opted to send mainly JV wrestlers and "6" open weights to Clearwater thus the unusually lopsided outcome in the opener. Andale lost by a similar margin to Mulvane. In Wellington's 2nd dual Thursday, a close and competitive faceoff.In the end our Crusaders secured their 2nd win on the evening 43-33. Clearwater lead early on but the "mo" changed and the big red machine chalked up the 2 league victories in one night. Great Job Crusaders - Good Luck Saturday as they return to Clearwater for a 13 team invitational which will get underway at 9AM. Weather could be a concern however and Clearwater will make a decision today as to whether the Saturday tournament will be held or not.

WELLINGTON INVITATIONAL PICS 12.10.16

The Wellington Crusader Wrestling Team hosted Pratt Thursday in dual action out at WHS. In the end it was Pratt 59 Wellington 24 and the visitors (who are ranked #2 in State 4A) would win 10 of the 14 matches wrestled and 8 of those 10 by pin. Sounds bad perhaps but actually the Crusaders gave up just a couple of "quick" pins, most of the other matches were battles to varying degrees that swung the wrong way nearer to the end than the beginning. Congrats to 126 lb. Daniel Schmidt, 138 lb. Kadin Heacock and 220 lb. Matt McComb - all "3" pinned their Pratt opponents. Pratt was open at 170 lbs. giving Isaac Hilt that victory. Next up - Wellington Invitational (JV and Varsity) this Saturday at WHS - action gets underway in both gyms at or around 9AM.
