It's tough to complain if you are a follower of athletics at Washington High School.

The Wildcats struck gold twice last week, first winning the 2010 Kansas Boys Bowling title in Wichita, Kan.

The bowling title was the school's first state championship of any kind in its history.

A few days later, the Washington Wildcats boys basketball team knocked off the three-time defending 5A state champions from Highland Park to advance to the state tournament.

I am still not sure anyone understands the magnitude of the bowling dynasty that has been created in Wyandotte County.

In 5 years, we have produced:

1 state boys champion
1 state boys 3rd place
1 state boys 5th place
2 state girls champions
8 regional boys and girls championships
1 state overall individual boys champion
1 state overall invididual girls champion
1 state overall girls runner-up
1 state overall boys 3rd place
And in the last three years, Schlagle, Sumner and Washington have qualified over 50+ bowlers to state tournaments.

Great job Washington.
