WHS Volleyball ends for another season, after falling to #2 seed McPherson, Saturday afternoon in McPherson. The ladies did secure an opening round, 2 set victory over Buhler and battled hard against the Lady Bullpup hosts in round 2, succumbing in the end though, with a 2 set loss against the eventual 4A Sub-State 2021 Champion.

Results at McPherson were as follows:

Wellington defeats Buhler 25-23, 25-15

McPherson defeats Wellington 25-13, 25-19

Saturday was a phenomenal day for the WHS Cross Country program. Not only did Freshman Lady Crusader Taylor Earl place 27th out of a field of 48 runners, in the GIRLS 5K, seven Crusaders, as a team, finished 3rd out of a field of 8 teams and will be heading north to Wamego, as a team, this coming Saturday. Congratulations to Head Coach Jaedyn Ledesma Showman, and coaches Charles Wallace and Timothy Green. They shined, the team shined, and smiles were plentiful as the final standings were announced. 

The Crusaders jumped out early on Mulvane and had the opportunity in the 2nd qtr for a 3 TD lead, but it wasn't to be. That drive was halted, Mulvane scored and scored again to knot it at 20 at the half. Opportunities presented themselves in the 2nd half, but in the end, Mulvane would outscore and outplay the Crusaders for the 40-26 Week 8 victory, advancing to a 6-2 record, the Crusaders, 2-5. Scoring for Wellington was Montel Tate (twice), Cope Henry, and RJ Clift, all on passing plays from either Dusty Bannister or Malachi Rogers. 

WE HAVE A MEDALIST @ 4A STATE GOLF!!

The top 20 medal - Congratulations to Kasiah Richmond, who finished 20th (tied for 19th). She played the best she has ever played all year. She had a tournament PR today - she hit the ball phenomenally, in windy conditions!! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

Day 1 of 2 is complete at the Salina Municipal Golf Course where this year's 4A State Girls Golf Tournament is being played. Link action will wrap up today. WHS Jr. Kasiah Richmond, finished in the top 3rd on Monday and will tee off today (TUE) in Group 4 at 10:10AM, playing with Cooper of Buhler and Clevenger of Andale. Today Kasiah will begin action on Hole 10.

Originally slated to travel to Buhler and play their JV on Monday, due to low numbers on the JV squad, a switcheroo occurred, bringing Clearwater's JV to Wellington and Andale JV would play Buhler. A close contest in the 1st qtr, evolved into a 28-6 lead at halftime for the younger Crusaders...by games' end, that score was 42-28. The JV squad moves to 4-2 on the season, with losses against Andale and Collegiate and wins against Labette Co, Rose Hill, El Dorado, and now Clearwater. Next action will be here at HOME on Monday, the 25th, vs Mulvane.

The WHS Debate Team, coached by Kurt Sherry, recently traveled to Coffeyville for DEBATE ACTION and came away with some medals!!
