The Wellington Crusaders enter the 2024 season full of excitement and with high expectations as they return almost every starter on each side of the ball. On Friday, September 6, the Crusaders were on the road to Wichita Collegiate while sporting new away white uniforms and a new “W” decal on their helmets.
Cross Country ran in their first meet of the season this past Thursday! Check out the photos from the yearbook photographers and the race results below!

The WHS Football program held its third annual "Decals with Dudes" event, a team tradition started by head coach Jeremiah Meeks to foster a sense of community and family within the team and with the athletes' loved ones. The football players invite special people in their lives to help them apply their helmet decals--this year's design featuring a white stripe and letter "W" on the player's left-hand side. The coaches provide a dinner of Big Cheese Pizza and also announce the team's captains as voted on by the players.
Varsity and JV Volleyball began their season Tuesday with a triangular hosted at El Dorado. The yearbook students took some fabulous photos—be sure to check out the full set!

Lady Crusader Golf spent the day yesterday at Crestview Country Club for the Andover tournament today and ended up with a 3rd place finish (and the top 4A team finish) behind 5A schools Kapaun and Andover.
Junior Taryn Viramontes medaled with the 7th place spot, shooting an 87. Just behind her was classmate Claire Ginter with a 90 for 11th place. Rounding out Wellington’s top four were Presley Cornejo and, for the second consecutive time in our top four scores, freshman Bella Angleton!
Keep up the good work, Lady Crusaders!
As is the case with the football scrimmage, I didn't have the opportunity to take too many of my own photos of the volleyball scrimmage in favor of giving my camera to a yearbook student as we have tons of yearbook photographers signed up for our events so far (a great problem to have!). The students have shared their many photos below!

We're a little lighter on Wellington.cc photos than usual of the Football Hamburger Scrimmage last Thursday, but that's because my camera spent most of the evening in the hands of yearbook photographers! There are over 30 yearbook students this year, and I'm excited to share their work in this space this school year! Check out the many photos from the night below!
