On Saturday, September 9, Wellington held its annual home cross country meet for high school and middle school at the Watershed at Hargis Creek.  All together, there were 465 runners who participated in the day, and we had 18 high school runners participate across three events.  The Lady Crusaders had enough participating in the 2-mile to comprise a team, and they took 1st!
