PSD Middle School Wrestling Season Postponed:

We regret to share that our middle school wrestling season is going to be postponed from November and December.  Instead, our plan is to run the season in April and May.
 
The main reason for postponing is that our district doesn't have enough COVID test kits to meet the weekly WIAA/DOH screening requirements right now.  Secondly, we also have a bus driver shortage that has paused all our after-school routes (and consolidated some of our normal daily routes too). Unfortunately, these supply chain and staffing shortages are widespread, including this impact on our sports program.
 
We anticipate that both shortages (testing and transportation) will be resolved by December.  That will allow us to run our other indoor sports as scheduled (boys and girls basketball in January-March) and then circle back to wrestling in April when the gym space is next available.
 
We are going to spend some time in the next few weeks to brainstorm some ideas for providing athletic after-school activities for our students that do not require these missing resources. Our hope is to have more information available early in November. 
 
We are disappointed to have to postpone wrestling and we are committed to getting our wrestling season back once the required resources are in place.
