3/28/2020
Governor Mark Gordon and the Wyoming Department of Health have extended the school closure date. This is the action the WHSAA will be taking:
We will extend the suspension of spring sports until Monday, April 20th. So that everyone will be on an equal playing field, there will continue to be NO PRACTICES during the suspension.
Due to the continuing influence of COVID-19 we are not able to predict when it will be safe to resume spring sports. We will continue to be guided by the Government of Wyoming, including the Wyoming Department of Health and the State Department of Education.
We will be reconvening the WHSAA Board of Directors to have further discussions on this matter as well as requesting input from our member schools.
We will continue to post updates on our website & social media.
Please follow the guidelines that have been established by the CDC and the Wyoming Department of Health.
