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. 

The Wellington High School Cross Country team continues to make good strides and remain competitive in meets.  The latest results are from the Cheney Invitational held at Cheney State Park last Thursday, October 6.  Boys Varsity placed solidly as Runner-Up as a team, finishing 13 points ahead of the third place Andale team.  Below are the results from all the high school races and photos by Cross Country athletes Conner Walker and Ava Furman.  Thanks Conner and Ava!  And Congratulations to the Boys Varsity Team!
