The Colorado High School Activities Association has formally canceled the spring sports season for the remainder of the school year due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

The decision follows Gov. Jared Polis\u2019 announcement Monday that in-person classroom learning would also remain canceled statewide through the rest of the school year, even as the state prepares to transition away from the stay-at-home order and some business closures after next week.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have proceeded with cautious optimism, holding on to a thread of hope that the spring season would be able to realistically resume, knowing that the health and safety of our sports communities would dictate our course of action,\u201d CHSAA Commissioner Rhonda Blanford-Green said in a statement to member schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was our hope to be able to create the memories because we understood what it meant to our high school communities \u2014 especially seniors \u2014 statewide.\u201d<\/p>\n
