A new chapter begins for the Fort Dodge boys' track and field team as Nik Moser, a seasoned athlete and coach, takes the reins. Known for his illustrious high school career where he claimed four state championships in track, Moser brings not only experience but also a fresh perspective to the program. His philosophy centers on fostering a competitive spirit among athletes, encouraging them to push their personal limits continuously. "The essence of track is about self-improvement," Moser emphasizes, highlighting the importance of athletes striving to outperform their previous bests.

The transition to Moser's leadership marks a significant shift, following two years as an assistant under Kevin Astor. With a strong emphasis on multi-sport athletes, Moser aims to leverage the diverse skills brought by participants from football, baseball, basketball, and wrestling backgrounds. This approach aligns with his vision of creating a well-rounded team capable of excelling across various events. Returning state qualifiers Noah Daniel and Dalton Eckley will play pivotal roles, providing invaluable experience and leadership to the squad. The roster features a blend of seasoned competitors and promising newcomers, including Mason Bolton, Kyree Rochon, Jayce Point, and others, ensuring a robust foundation for the upcoming season.

Moser's strategy involves maximizing the team's potential by strategically placing athletes in events where they can shine. With experienced throwers like Joe Constable and emerging talents such as sophomore Cael Hansen, the Dodgers boast a versatile lineup poised for success. As the season unfolds, events like the Drake Relays and the IAC Conference Meet present opportunities for the team to showcase their abilities on a larger stage. Under Moser's guidance, the Fort Dodge boys' track and field team is set to embrace challenges with enthusiasm, embodying the spirit of competition and continuous improvement that defines their coach's ethos.
