CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (Rocktown Now) – The Virginia High School League announced this afternoon that as a result of the weather conditions and its aftermath across the Commonwealth, it is postponing all state championship events for gymnastics, swimming and diving, and wrestling scheduled for Sunday and Monday.

Executive Director Billy Haun said the VHSL will continue to prioritize everyone’s safety and well-being.

“The VHSL staff has been monitoring the severe weather conditions that have impacted different regions of Virginia, “Haun explained. “After communicating with several school divisions in those areas and the Governor’s issuing a State of Emergency for the Commonwealth, the VHSL has made a decision to cancel all VHSL state championships scheduled for this weekend.”

The VHSL will now hold its state championships for gymnastics, swimming and diving, and wrestling next week with an announcement of dates, locations, and schedules to follow as soon as possible.
