MECHANICSBURG – The PIAA has announced all high school winter sports championships have been postponed due to coronavirus concerns. In a release, the PIAA says its board of directors unanimously approved the move to suspend championships for a minimum of two weeks.
Meantime, in Lewisburg, the high school swimming and diving championships at Bucknell University has been shortened with a limited number of spectators present. The championships will conclude at the end of today’s mid-afternoon diving session.
