WHS gave the State 4A Cross Country Boys Team a big sendoff on Friday at WHS. The team and the Crusader Band, marched around the school as students and staff, and visiting friends and family, cheered the group on. Congratulations to Ryan Bacon, Conner Walker, Jaxson Irey-Hurt, Braeden Ybarra, Camden Parkey, Hunter Lough, and Caleb Sanders! (SEE PIC ABOVE)

Not only did Freshman Lady Crusader Taylor Earl place 27th out of a field of 48 runners, in the GIRLS 5K, seven Crusaders, as a team, finished 3rd out of a field of 8 teams and will be heading north to Wamego, as a team, this coming Saturday. Congratulations to Head Coach Jaedyn Ledesma Showman, and coaches Charles Wallace and Timothy Green. They shined, the team shined, and smiles were plentiful as the final standings were announced.
