Wellington was at Pratt this weekend in a 10 team invitational and finished 1st overall as a team.  

Report from Coach Aufdengarten

"#1 Singles Ashlyn Gerten lost her opening match over a state qualifier from last year from Larned 6-8.  She won her second match 8-0 over Chaparral.  Then she ran into Kingman who finished 4th at 321A state last year and lost 2-8 but played very well losing several deuce games.  She then went on to beat a state qualifier from Greeley County 8-4, and another state qualifier from Kiowa County 8-2.  Gerten finished 4th overall which I was very pleased with.

#2 Singles Kami Reichenberger was Wellington's top medalist going 5-0 on the day and winning the championship.  She started in pool play beating Lyons 8-3, and Greeley County 8-1.  She then played Pratt in a cross bracket match and won 8-0.  In the championship pool she beat Lyons again 8-1, then beat a state qualifier from Larned 8-4.  This is Reichenberger's second straight tournament to medal in.

#1 Doubles was Jensen Lynnes & Lyric Cornejo with Welliington mixing it's lineup up a bit from the first two meets.  Lynnes and Cornejo beat Lyons 8-2 and Greeley County 8-0 to start off.  In cross bracket play the pair beat  Ashland 8-0.  In the championship pool they ran into a Sterling team that had a 3rd place and 8th place finisher at state last season and fell behind 0-5 to start and ended up losing 3-8.  The Wellington pair beat Larned 8-1 in the final match to finish 4-1 on the day for 2nd place.

#2 Doubles was Olivia Brand & Crystal Ramirez who had a very good day also going 4-1.  They opened up pool play beating Larned 8-4 and Chaparral 8-2.  In cross bracket play they beat Pratt 8-1.  Much like the #1 doubles team Brand and Ramirez met a tough Sterling team who both went to state last season and lost 2-8.  They beat Ashland 8-6 to secure 2nd place on the day."

AWESOME JOB LADY CRUSADERS!!
