Congratulations - To the JV and Varsity Cheer Teams and our Dance team for the outstanding routines they performed at the Classic 8 Cheer and Dance Championship on Saturday. The JV Cheer Team took 1st place in their division and Varsity 2nd. Congratulations as well to Cami Foote for taking 2nd place in the individual dance division and to Ashley Behrendt who was the CONFERENCE CHAMPION in the individual cheer division. 

It was a great run for our Boys Soccer team who lost a tough match this past Friday night 2-1 to the now state champion Whitefish Bay Blue Dukes. What a great season for one of the best soccer teams in the state, you guys played your hearts out! 

Also, it was a great run for our Football team who lost in overtime this past Friday night to Monona Grove. It was a great game that went back and forth all night. Again West showed they were one of the best teams in the state in being one of the final eight teams in Division 2! 

Former Westies - Wanted to share this picture and give a shout out to David Konowalski (pictured left) who plays for Bowling Green and Marcus Kelly (pictured right) who plays for Northern Illinois...it is great to see them together! They were excellent student/athletes at West and I cannot say enough about what great people they are as they continue to excel at the next level! 




Get Involved!! - Winter sports, clubs and activities are ready and waiting for you to join....we have so much to offer! Check out our websites, ask a staff member, or ask a fellow student what you can be a part of something and enjoy these offerings as you only have one chance while being a student at West...no regrets, take a risk and be involved at West!
