There won't be an outdoor track championship in Tennessee this spring.
The TSSAA announced on Wednesday evening that all remaining events for the 2020 school year have been canceled. That includes Spring Fling in late May, which includes the state track meet.
Here's the official statement.
With the Governor's announcement of school closure for the remainder of the school year, all remaining TSSAA events for 2019-20, including all spring sports and the postponed BlueCross Basketball Championships, are cancelled. This is an unprecedented time across our state and country, and we do not make this decision lightly. We thank all of the participants, their coaches, administrators, parents, and everyone else who has dedicated a tremendous amount of time, passion, and effort to high school athletics, especially these affected events.
We will keep you updated as new information arises. The TSSAA also noted in their release that information is coming soon regarding summer athletic events and the upcoming sports calendar.
We're sad we won't be able to see all of you at this year's state meet.
But let's still send our seniors out the right way.
