The 19th Annual Wellington Basketball Sharpshooting Contest was held this year on Saturday, August 9, 2025, which turned out to be a typical August day, hot but with a little breeze. In the senior division Vladimir Fedorchenko Tsukanov took first place for boys and Emory Gage took top honors for the girls (Emory’s second year in a row to take first place in this division). For the junior division the top scorers were Aanya Gunjur (girls’ division) and Alex Bascou (boys’ division). In the boys’ youth division, the top scorer was Elijah Roberts. In the team division the top scorers were Alex and Lee Bascou. The complete list of winners is below, along with many great pictures of the event. This year we had a total of 23 kids participating, along with 18 sets of adult/child teams. Thanks especially to Wellington volunteers Greg Dykes and Barrett Harms for officiating! We also thank all the wonderful Wellington residents who came to help with our event plus all the residents who showed up to watch and support our young athletes. We hope to see you all again next year on the last Saturday before school starts in 2026!
