The announcement of the cancellation of the WIAA’s spring sports season came as a suprise to no one when it came out in mid-March. The announcement, which was made during the height of the COVID-19 outbreak, was recieved well as circumstances certainly called for extreme changes.
However, in a coenciding announcement made by the WIAA last week, it was made known that high school teams would be allowed a possible 30-day period of competetion in July.
That statement meant that teams still held out hope of competetion this spring.
That hope was squashed for Janesville students yesterday when the School District of Janesville announced that it would not be participating in the 30-day season.
Many fans, parents and media pundits were upset about the announcement from the school district, with some questioning how action in July could be postponed in April.
However, other voices took aim at the state’s high school governing body, lamenting the WIAA for ‘passing the buck’ by leaving the final cancellation call up to local school districts.
All in all, sports are still cancelled as far as the near future goes. The next possible action students will be able to see is in August.
