Wesco schools opt to delay start of prep sports until Season 2
The wait for the resumption of sports at many local high schools has officially been extended.
With coronavirus cases once again surging and many local school districts turning to distance learning to start the 2020-2021 school year, athletics directors from the countys largest high school athletics conference have opted to not offer any sports programs in the fall.
Wesco, the Class 2A-4A conference that is home to 18 Snohomish County high schools and 21 schools in total, announced Friday that its programs wont be participating in Season 1 of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association Executive Boards recently updated proposed plan for prep sports this school year.
The primary driver is a handful of our districts in Wesco have already decided to go online when we open up the school year in September, said Robert Polk, athletics director of the Everett School District and director of District 1. And with all the moving parts around online learning and decisions we need to make about whether or not to allow kids on campuses at this time, it was just in the best interest to take advantage of the new WIAA calendar.
