Ark Valley-Chisholm Trail League Division IV All-League Honors
For the fall sports which have already concluded, all-league team selections have been made, in some cases several weeks ago with the conclusion of the league competitions. Golf, Tennis, and Cross Country all-league honors are determined based on how each individual finishes during the league meets/tournaments. For volleyball and football, a nomination process is used. Here are the Crusader honorees so far:
Cross Country
1st Team - Conner Walker, Luke Wylie

JV Tennis was at home this Monday in their last home appearance for the season, and we had lots of Crusaders on the courts comprising two Wellington teams hosting Chaparral, Valley Center, Campus, and Andover. Jordan Koehn and Ellie Hays took 2nd in #1 Doubles, followed by Scout and River Douglas in 3rd. Additionally, partners Scotlyn Ewing and Sullivan Parkey took 2nd in #2 Doubles. Overall, we had one team, Wellington Red (Koehn, Hays, Ewing, Parkey, Thalia Garcia, and Breegan Bevan), place 3rd.
