The State of Minnesota and South Washington County Schools is taking the next steps to ensure the health and safety of our staff and students. Additionally, MSHSL is taking the necessary actions to ensure the safety and well-being of our student-athletes, their families, and coaching staff remain safe and healthy during these challenging times. The following information was provided to WHS Track and Field Coaching staff:

Per MSHSL Spring Activity Participation Update dated March 25, 2020:

Effective immediately and continuing until the Governor of Minnesota has lifted his school closure declaration:

• All participation in MSHSL spring activities at all member schools is suspended.
• Participation includes, but is not limited to, competitions, training, practices, scrimmages, and contests.

No decisions regarding the cancellation of spring activities has been made at this time.
