The IHSA on Thursday cancelled all of the remaining championships for winter sports, but did not make a decision on spring sports championships. IHSA Executive Director Craig Anderson said the following about spring sports tournaments in the IHSA’s news release—–
“It is too early to make any decisions regarding IHSA spring state final tournaments,” said Anderson. “We respect the NCAA’s decision to cancel its spring championships, but also recognize that the exposure and travel by our high school teams is not as expansive as collegiate teams. At this juncture, we recommend that all IHSA spring sport teams consult their local health departments, and follow their recommendations on if and how to proceed with practices and regular-season contests.”
