The annual Wellington Cross Country Invitational was held Saturday morning out at Hargis Creek Watershed, featuring 677 runners from 30 or so HS's and MS's combined. The weather was perfect, sunshine, no wind, nice temps...great morning to run (or watch). Wellington MS and HS had several runners in the mix - here are those with top 20 finishes, all finishers can be found at links below - great job Knights, Lady Knight, Crusaders and Lady Crusaders!
After savoring their season opening win all week against Clearwater, the IRONDUKES had to put those memories aside and take care of business against the visiting (0-1) El Dorado Wildcats at Sellers Park on Friday evening. The task at hand wouldn't seem as easy as Week #1 but it was doable and the IRONDUKES did it.
The main gym at WHS was rockin' Friday afternoon as the first PEP ASSEMBLY of the season was held. Student-Athletes that participate in Volleyball, Girls Tennis, Cross Country, Girls Golf and Football were introduced resulting in exhuberant appreciation by all present! The band and the cheerleaders kept the crowd all fired up - just another great day to be a CRUSADER!!

Some sports history this Fall at WHS - a GIRLS GOLF TEAM! With the popularity of golf for both boys and girls at the middle school level and the introduction of their golf program 3 years ago or so, the high school team was started this year with 5 members (4 freshmen and 1 sophomore) with more "Lady Knight Golfers" in the pipeline. Exciting stuff! GO BIG RED!
Meet your 2017 WHS Girls Golf Team!
