Student athletes of all ages were front and center as WPS took a moment to recognize one of the best sports seasons in district history and honor those who helped make it happen. 

You can see the entire presentation before the WPS Board of Education below.

Four teams: girls softball, girls volleyball, boys football and boys soccer all made it to the state playoffs this fall, a remarkable showing due in part to the district’s Westy Futures program, which has focused on providing athletic opportunities for students of all ages. The theme: “All Roads Lead to Westy”.

The football and volleyball teams won their league titles with football coach Chris Helbig and soccer coach Martin Fuentes being named League Coaches of the Year. Softball coach Alex Towers was also named Rocky Mountain League Coach of the Year.
