More GREAT NEWS for Crusader Country!

Cross Country returned from the AVCTL Division III/IV League Meet on Thursday last week with several individual medals, league honors, and the Division IV LEAGUE TITLE for the Boys Varsity Team!!!!! Collegiate was the team to beat in this division, and Boys Varsity scored 12 points better than the Spartans. Boys JV also took 1st over the only other school whose roster was big enough to make up a team in that event, Clearwater.

The Lady Crusaders Golf Team continue to add hardware to their collection this season: they are REGIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!!! The team took first at the regional tournament held last week at Turkey Creek Golf Course in McPherson.  Additionally, freshman Claire Ginter led the field with a new PR (76) to become INDIVIDUAL REGIONAL CHAMPION!!! Wow!!

Wellington Tennis is REGIONAL RUNNER-UP (second to Wichita Trinity) and advancing FIVE players to State: Jensen Lynnes, Lyric Cornejo, Ashlyn Gerten, Kadynce Aufdengarten, and Kami Reichenberger!

On Saturday, October 8, Wellington hosted Regionals at Winfield's T.H. Vaughan Tennis Complex and the team performed very well in what Coach Aufdengarten describes as "one of the toughest regionals in 4A this year."  As a team, Wellington was REGIONAL RUNNER-UP, which marks the second straight year that the team has brought home a regional trophy (last year's team took 1st ).

The Crusaders lost a heartbreaker to 4A power McPherson last Friday night, October 7. Both offenses were clicking with the teams totaling over 300 offensive yards, but it was special teams that made the difference in this one, as McPherson would kick a field goal in the final seconds to win.
