Sports : Winter weather affects first VSHS \'spring\' athletic events; schedule listed

The winter weather has already affected the first two track and field events for Vinton-Shellsburg High School athletes.

The Vikings and Vikettes were not able to participate in the indoor WaMaC meet March 18, at Cornell College in Mount Vernon. The girls were en route when bad roads forced the bus driver to turn around; coach Aric Chvala and the administrative staff then decided not to send the boys team, either.

Now, the Early Bird meet, scheduled for Tuesday afternoon in Vinton, has been cancelled.

Below is the rest of the spring athletic schedule for VSHS:
