A neat thing happened at the beginning of this week! Senior Ralph Cornejo, who swam a state consideration time in the 100 Yrd Butterfly at AVCTL Division III/IV League last weekend, learned that his time was good enough to allow him to compete at 5-1A State Swimming starting today held at the Shawnee Mission Aquatic Center in Lenexa! (Diving preliminaries began yesterday)
EIGHT Lady Crusader wrestlers qualified for the STATE tournament this past weekend!
February 15 was a GREAT day for Lady Crusader Wrestling at the McPherson regional! The team continues to make history, doubling the programs previous record for state qualifiers with EIGHT out of ten wrestlers competing at this year’s regional tournament!
Every wrestler won a match and contributed to team points, and Wellington finished in 5th place (just behind host McPherson) out of 30 teams present.

Congrats to new Duke Riddick Jeffries! Riddick was crowned in front of a huge basketball crowd last Friday by Duchess Anna Ewing, and a dance was held at the conclusion of the basketball games to cap off the week's Winter Homecoming celebration at WHS.
This was a great group of candidates and escorts; they were a lot of fun to work with on all the photos over the course of the week.
Candidate biographies and event photos from the coronation are below!
