Once again, Manhattan High track and field took first place with the boys' and girls' squads in the Indians’ home meet at Bishop Stadium on Friday. The Manhattan boys scored 208 points, and the girls scored 243. The invite had fewer competitors than normal due to the Kansas Relays in Lawrence and a holiday weekend. The six-team field consisted of Maize, Wichita East, Junction City, Topeka High, and Highland Park. Still, MHS took full advantage of the opportunity to compete on its home turf.
