The Schuylkill League announced Thursday that it would be canceling its team wrestling championships this season.

“In an effort to make sure our Schuylkill League wrestlers are provided with the best situation possible this season, the league has decided in a majority vote by league wrestling schools to cancel the league wrestling championships for the 2021 season,” it said in a statement. “There were many factors that went into this tough decision, with the health and safety of our student athletes being the main consideration.”

The team championship was previously set for the week of Feb. 8, which would have consisted of the top two teams in each division qualifying for the team league championships, and then wrestling in a semifinal and final format to declare the team league champion.

The current plan in place will allow for the teams to wrestle their complete league schedule. For the 2020-2021 season, the Division 1 Champion and the Division 2 Champion will be declared Co-Champions.
