Introducing the 2025 Wichita Eagle All-Metro boys track and field team
The Wichita area featured some of the top high school boys track and field athletes in Kansas this season, and that star power is highlighted on The Wichita Eagle’s 2025 All-Metro boys track and field team.
The All-Metro squad features the top athletes on the track and in the field, as well as a Coach of the Year, from teams in Sedgwick, Butler and Harvey counties. Selections are based on a heavy emphasis on postseason performance.
After winning four gold medals at the Class 5A state meet, Kapaun Mt. Carmel senior Jack Guthridge, a Kansas State signee, is our Boys Track and Field Athlete of the Year.
