2019 Mindanao Blue Knights Track League Tubod

Previous Season 5

Season 6 of the Blue Knights was the last official Season of Blue Knights which ran from 2014-2019. Several factors stopped the Blue Knights from proceeding. Firstly Prof Airnel Abarra started his doctorate in Europe, so was no longer able to oversee events in Mindanao. Secondly the Pandemic also prevented any events in Mindanao for 2020. In 2021 an incarnation branded under PinoyAthletics held three Mindanao Track League meets in Butuan City.
