Tonight, even though the weather more resembles late fall, was supposed to start the track and field postseason schedule.
OK, we have all heard enough of the coronavirus pandemic, its devastation, the heartbreak it causes and what it has cost high school spring sports athletes.
For the first time since 1992, there will be no Jordan Relays.
The event started in 1955. West Scranton took home the first title.
