Gear Up: Track and Field Season is Here!

The air is getting warmer, the days are getting longer, and the sound of starting pistols is just around the corner. Wichita Adaptive Sports is thrilled to announce the kickoff of the 2026 W.A.S. Wildfire Track and Field season!

Whether you are a seasoned athlete looking to break personal records or a newcomer eager to find your lane, this season promises growth, community, and the high-energy spirit of the Wildfire. Our season begins with a team huddle on March 14th during the WAS Annual Meeting and Event, where athletes can register for upcoming meets and get the full rundown of what to expect on the track this year.

Beyond the competition, we are also hosting a Bingo Night fundraiser at Sugar Shane's on April 11th. It is a fantastic way to support the team while enjoying a meal and some friendly competition before the hard work begins on the track the following day.
