With the Newton Invitational held Thursday, December 1, the inaugural boys season of WHS swimming has officially begun!

Wellington is making use of the cooperative agreement with Winfield High School started by senior swimmer Jensen Lynnes three years ago when she was a freshman. Joining Jensen as a WHS Swim Team member are sophomores Ralph Cornejo and Rome Hunt! They have been commuting to Winfield to join their team’s practices and compete under the Winfield Vikings banner during the regular season.

We’re excited to follow Crusader swimmers Rome and Ralphie this season!
