Getting back on track.
That’s the name of the game for the Riverhead High School boys track and field team these days.
For the first time in nearly 14 months, the school hosted a sporting event on its campus Monday. It was the track team’s first competition in two years. Last year’s spring season was wiped out by the coronavirus pandemic after the first several practices.
That’s the big picture.
Since Riverhead had lost its winter and fall seasons earlier this restructured sports year to budget cutbacks — and with them the cross-country and winter track seasons for its runners to build on — the Blue Waves really face an uphill hurdle this season.
