DES MOINES – Leah Weaver ran a personal-best 1 minute, 8.61 seconds on her way to ninth place in the 400-meter hurdles, leading the West Fork track and field teams at the State Meet last week at Drake Stadium in Des Moines.

The Warhawks competed in six events at the meet, five on the girls' side and one on the boys. Weaver's finish was the best of the meet for the team and one of two that finished inside the top 10.

The Hampton-Dumont-CAL soccer teams have had success and failures during the year.  As postseason match-ups have been released, it is time for the teams to be at their best if they want a shot at qualifying for the state tournament.  The girls soccer team begins their march for the postseason Wednesday against the Clear Lake Lions at Clear Lake.  The match will begin at 7:00 pm and tickets can be purchased online as the Bulldogs have wrapped up their conference and regular season schedule.

The Hampton-Dumont-CAL boys’ and girls’ track and field teams ran at the North Central Conference track meet this past Thursday.  The boys traveled to Webster City, while the girls headed to Fort Dodge.  The Boys team was looking to continue their performance streak and finish the season strong before heading into the district track meet.

DES MOINES — If one is good, two would be even better. 

That was the attitude for Hampton-Dumont/CAL sophomore Charlee Morton who became the school’s second-ever Drake Relays champion with a victory in the discus Thursday and then doubled-up with a win Friday in the shot put.

“I knew, right when I got the win in discus, I wanted to get the win in shot put,” Morton said after winning the shot put. “Shot put was my stronger suit coming in, so I was just even more confident in myself. It’s a really great feeling to have both.”
