The Wesleyan girls' golf team played our first match of the season against Mount Pisgah at River Pines this evening. Each team played four girls and kept the two best scores. Mount Pisgah won with a combined score of 91, while Wesleyan had a combined total of 96.  Junior Elizabeth Hodges led the team and was tied for the lowest scorer of the match with a 41, finishing the round with 3 pars and a birdie. Sophomore Tatum Terwilliger was our other scorer and shot a 55. 

On Monday, March 6, the Wesleyan JV baseball team split a doubleheader at home with Decatur.

 

In the first game, starting pitcher Carter Hayes went the distance, allowing only 1 run, but Decatur made that hold up for a 1-0 victory, as the Wolves offense just couldn't get going. (In addition to a solid start on the mound, Hayes managed the team's only two hits.) Noah Sanders had a standout defensive game behind the plate, cutting down both stolen base attempts by Bulldog runners.

 

In the second contest, William Wright threw a complete game shutout, as the Wolves bounced back for a 5-0 victory. Ryley Webb and Hayes had back-to-back extra base hits to lead off the 3^rd inning, and Coleman Eldridge led the team with two RBI's. Billy Gingrey, Connor Roush, and Will Jamieson all singled as part of a balanced offensive attack.

 

The team is now 6-2 and faces Fellowship Christian on the road for their next matchup.

MS Girls Lacrosse won both games on opening weekend.  A strong showing on defense by Maya Okeke caused 3 turnovers for Wesleyan's opponents.  The midfield was led by eighth graders Sarie Rowe (6 goals, 3 assists and 5 ground balls), and Catherine Neu (3 goals, 2 assists and 7 ground balls).  Ansley Jamieson led the attack with 5 goals, 1 assist and 9 ground balls.

 

 

What a wonderful, remarkable, and thrilling state swim & dive meet at GA Tech! Our divers got the team off to a strong start by earning two top 5 finishes earlier in the week. Then, after an incredible prelim session for our swimmers, the stage was set for an unforgettable evening of competition at the GHSA 1A-3A swim finals on Saturday evening. The historic and fantastic results are already well known, but in case anyone missed it, both our boys’ and girls' teams won their respective swim and dive state championships which marks a significant accomplishment for our athletes. The dual team 1^st place finishes mark just the 2^nd time in school history (1^st being 2020) that both boys’ and girls’ teams have finished in the top 3 in the same season. The boys’ state championship is our third in school history, and first since 2012! Not to be out done, the girls state championship is the first in school history! The fact we accomplished this with just 16 athletes is a testament to everyone doing their best for the good of the team.
