Wrestling committee meeting postponed by snowstorm

The snowstorm which has already forced the field hockey and boys soccer state tournaments to adjust dates is now also affecting the wrestling committee meeting, which has been postponed.

The wrestling committee was scheduled to be held on Tuesday, but the meeting has been postponed to a future date to be announced.

“Because we have statewide representation on the committee, and the amount of travel involved, we want to ensure our committee members are able to arrive safely and not have to extend their travel plans,” said CHSAA assistant commissioner Adam Bright, who oversees wrestling.

When a new date is announced, CHSAANow will post that information.

This meeting is pretty consequential because the committee will be outlining the new structure for the first girls wrestling season, which will begin in 2020-21.
