They may not have had an opponent, but that didn’t stop the King Philip Warriors from taking to the track at the Hockomock League’s second meet of the season over the weekend.
Per league rules, one school from both divisions get a bye where their times still count, but they do not have a dual meet opponent. The rule means that only eight of the 10 teams will partake in a scoring meet but all 20 teams will run all five meets.
