DES MOINES — A year after getting completely shut out of the state meet, the Fort Dodge boys track team will send four relays to Drake Stadium beginning this Thursday.

The Dodgers will compete in the sprint medley, 4×200, shuttle hurdle and 4×100 relays against the best of the best in Class 4A.

Seniors Trey Mosley and Luke Jacobson are on three of the four relays, as are sophomore Brycen Bell and ninth-grader Tyler Schreier. Trey Kasperbauer, Anthony Wagner, Asle Thorson and Lucas Williamson comprise the shuttle hurdle.

After standout seasons on the football field and basketball court, Mosley is ready to hit the blue oval for one final time.

“This means so much to me right now because it’s the last event that I’ll ever compete in as a Dodger,” Mosley said. “I believe we can compete in all our events and I have high expectations for the team to bring home a medal.”

A future Grand View University football player, Mosley is also focusing on helping ease the nerves of the underclassmen set to run.

“Having fun, making them laugh and enjoying the moment,” Mosley said. “Doing that should bring some stress off their shoulders for the big stage.”

Jacobson, Mosley, Bell and Schreier posted a 1:35.17 at districts to set another school record in the event. The 4×200 came in at 1:31.50 and the 4×100 posted a 44.08. Earlier this year, the 4×100 ran a 43.94.

“Finishing my Dodger athletic career this weekend is crazy to me,” said Jacobson, who will play football at Buena Vista University in the fall. “Being a Dodger has been a huge part of my life and I thank my coaches, family and everyone else that helped make it that way.”

The shuttle hurdle relay features all underclassmen, as Kasperbauer, Wagner and Williamson are juniors, with Thorson a 10th-grader. They went a seasons-best 1:01.54 at districts.

Senior Aidan Simonson, junior Mason Bodholdt, sophomore Tyrese McCaleb and freshman James Daniel are alternates.
