Challenge Met: Harriers survive Chicken Creek

IHS Field will see gridiron action in 2020 after all. The Colorado High School Activities Association Board of Directors convened Wednesday night, Sept. 16, to discuss athletic variances approved by the COVID-19 Response Team from the Office of Gov. Jared Polis, and by a 12-3 vote, traditional CHSAA-sanctioned fall sports of football, field hockey, and sideline spirit were approved to proceed – if teams are able to do so safely under guidelines set by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. According to an Association press release from Assistant Commissioner Bert Borgmann’s office, schools will continue to have the option to play those sports in Spring ’21 (or Season C; Fall ’20 also goes by Season A) as previously upheld by the Board, if they elect not to in the fall. He noted that though the seasons would be treated equitably, schools may not play in both – allowing for schools and districts to make the determination locally. Requested variances for CHSAA’s remaining fall sports – including Girls’ Volleyball – still remain under consideration by the Response Team.
