WIAA officially cancels Wisconsin high school spring sports

STEVENS POINT, Wis. — The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association officially canceled all spring high school sports Tuesday as the coronavirus pandemic stretches on.

Canceled sports include baseball, softball, boys golf, girls soccer, boys tennis and track and field. WQOW-TV reports the WIAA will allow virtual coaching to continue through June 30 and expanded out-of-season coach contact opportunities to 30 days for spring athletes during the summer.

The cancellation was expected after Gov. Tony Evers earlier this month extended his stay-at-home and school closure orders through May 26. The order continued a prohibition on all interscholastic training, practices, scrimmages and contests.
