Meets will be duals and triangulars only but the possibility of a state meet exists, even with COVID-19 guidelines limiting fans.

With limited fans and athletes in most sports wearing masks during competition, Minnesota high school winter sports resume with games and meets starting Thursday. Seasons will be condensed, with fewer games, owing to the pandemic, but there’s still hope of state tournaments.
