Will four team track and field district title streaks continue in May, or will the lost 2020 season lead to new champions being crowned next month?

Hempfield boys in Class AAA and South Park girls in Class AA are looking to win a second straight championship. The Riverside boys in Class AA and Butler girls in Class AAA both looking for a fourth straight WPIAL title.

The fields are set for the WPIAL team track and field postseason, starting Tuesday with the semifinals meets.
