Cosmic-ray composition in the region of the knee is being measured with the array of wide angle Cherenkov telescopes (WACT). WACT consists of six atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (ACTs) located around the Milagro experiment. WACT is at an atmospheric depth of 750 g/cm^2 and is located 40 miles west of Los Alamos National Lab. WACT measures composition by examining the lateral distribution of Cherenkov light produced by cosmic-ray induced extensive air showers. Simulation and preliminary data analysis from the winter 2001/2002 observing campaign will be presented.
