The CONDITIONING TEST in mid-August always kind of signifies the end of the SUMMER workouts and training, and it's a great gauge too for the student-athletes to see where they are "conditioning-wise"!
2-A-Days begin on Monday for football, all the other Fall Sports begin Monday as well!! Let's make it a great FALL across the board!!!

Head WHS Football Coach Zane Aguilar has spent about a quarter-century around football, and he's only in his early 30's! He loves the game, playing it and coaching it, and that becomes very clear after just a few minutes of dialogue with the Ironduke's CEO. Not only that, the guy can sing!
This week is WHS BAND CAMP! Stopped by Tuesday morning and took pics of the group rehearsing different "marching" patterns, etc. Great group of young folks! Looking forward to the first HOME FOOTBALL GAME - always awesome when they march in playing the fight song!! The band's director is Mr. Ben Olson.
Student-athletes at WHS have been training all summer through PSQ, through camps, through special training - all to be as physically and mentally prepared as possible when Fall Sports Practices (Football, Volleyball, Girls Tennis, Cross Country, Girls Golf) begin. These pics were taken during HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING one morning last week, the training had moved inside for the day due to wet conditions outside...they train hard and they have fun.

The 28th GREAT RACE RELAY took place Saturday afternoon at South Woods Park and points beyond. "8" teams participated in the "13" event relay which includes motocross, horseback, bicycles, canoes, long and short distance running. Each team carries a colored railroad spike from start to finish - if you don't cross the finish line with it, you don't win! Jack Potucek has been the Racemaster for all 28 races, dating back to 1977.
The 2018 top 3 finishers were:
Play resumed Monday morning after rain delay Sunday. Score didn't change and outcome was Liberal 9 DUKES 1. No matter, Wellington would be the #2 seed in Bracket Play after going 3-1 in Pool Play. Liberal, 4-0 in pool play, would be the #1 seed. In the first semi-final, it was DUKES vs Parsons, a team Wellington defeated in the State Tournament opener, 8-6. A repeat of that outcome wasn't to be.
The Wellington Dukes 18U lost to Parsons 3-6 in semi-final bracket play action this afternoon at Liberal's Sr. Babe Ruth State Tournament.
GAME #4 (Pool Play) Sunday vs Liberal
Game #4 (in pool play) with Wellington 18U vs host Liberal (both squads (3-0) are in a rain delay in the 5th inning with the Dukes down 1-9. No more baseball tonight, no update available at this time for game times on Monday. Win or lose, the DUKES will make bracket play. Stay tuned! GO DUKES!!
GAME #3 (Pool Play) Sunday vs Grant County (Ulysses)
