The 2026 West Fork boys track and field season is just around the corner and the Warhawks will look to build on the success they had last season.

Xavier Haller qualified for state as a senior in the high jump last year and was part of a group of seniors who were a big part of the team's success last season.

After a strong 2025 season, the West Fork girls track and field team will look to have similar success in the 2026 season. The Warhawks qualified nine girls for the state meet and had seven top three finishes in meets as a team, including placing second in the Top of Iowa-East Conference track meet and third in the state qualifier meet.
