Cunningham senior Will Wegerer is one of the best athletes in the state and has showcased it throughout his whole career, whether on the football field, on the basketball court, or during track season.
Wegerer won a state championship in football in 2022 and was runner-up two years in a row, where he was named an all-league first-team quarterback. He was a state champion in basketball in 2024, where he is the school’s all-time points holder and assists holder. On top of all that, the senior is also a class 2A state champion pole vaulter, making him the only state champion in Cunningham history to be a state champion in three sports.
“Will is a perfectionist, disciplined, passionate, approaches his crafts with purpose and intention,” Cunningham track head coach Eric Kerschen said. “Will is an extremely empathetic model person who wants the best for his teammates and coaches. He is a model leader and student. He is involved in his church and community with a number of extra gifts and talents.”
The senior has been doing track since he was in sixth grade and currently holds the school’s pole vault record.
“My personal goals are to defend my state pole vaulting title as well as bettering the school record that I set last year,” Wegerer said. “As a team, it would be nice to take a big group of boys to the state meet.”
Wegerer understands what he needs to do daily in practice to achieve the standard he has set for himself and the Cunningham community.
“My personal goals are to defend my state pole vaulting title and better the school record I set last year,” Wegerer said.
