The girls had a good season finishing the regular season with 3 wins and one loss. During the Eastern District tournament, the girls finished 3rd overall from a field of 8 teams. The Wilson girls cross country team qualified for the regional by finishing among the top 4 teams in the district championship. The team is young and with alot of hard work they will continue to improve.
BOYS CROSS COUNTRY
The boys had a very good sea-son. After losing two top runners in South Hampton roads to graduation, this was expected to be a rebuilding year. However, the boys finished the reqular season with 3 wins and 1 loss. The boys cross country team wasn’t expected to do well at all but finished 2nd overall in the 8 team field Eastern district championship and qualified for the regionals by being among the top 4 teams in the district.
Wilson Baseball Team
The Wilson Varsity Baseball Team had a successful season considering the team was very young. With only 2 seniors on the team, Jason Morgan & Mike Livesay, Wilson still managed to play competitive baseball throughout the season and get key wins over Oscar Smith, Churchland, and Indian River.
The strengths of the team were Jason Morgan's powerful bat, Brandon Todd’s consistent batting average (545 for the season) and Nate Anthony and Laurice Purham’s pitching performances. The weak-nesses of the team were lack of experience and timely hits in certain situations. The team was coached by Billy Kline.
