Gretchen Whitmer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollandsentinel.com\/sports\/20201115\/mhsaa-fall-postseasons-suspended-under-new-covid-19-restrictions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced the upcoming change on Sunday<\/a>. The postponement is for three weeks, but could be changed if cases in Michigan continue to rise according to the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA).<\/p>\n<p>There are three divisions in Michigan high school swimming and those state meets were scheduled for Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>The meets were already changed to timed finals to help combat the possible spread of COVID-19 by limiting contact between swimmers with fewer swims.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/category\/high-school\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">More high school news<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Other fall sports in Michigan also saw their postseasons postponed. Football and volleyball are the only other MHSAA sports in Michigan that haven&#8217;t completed their fall seasons. Boys water polo is a fall season but not sanctioned by the MHSAA. It is governed by the Michigan Water Polo Coaches Association and had already postponed its season to the spring.<\/p>\n<p>The restrictions will likely push into the beginning of the winter seasons as well, meaning the boys swimming and diving season might start a little late. Other winter sports in Michigan are boys and girls basketball, hockey, wrestling, bowling and competitive cheer.<\/p>\n<p>The boys swim season was postponed before the state meet in March in heartbreaking fashion. It was postponed just two days before the state meet and because of the pandemic, was never completed.<\/p>\n<p>There is a chance that the girls season could be the same if it gets worse in Michigan. But if it gets better, it will remain a postponement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michigan high school girls swimming state championship meets are postponed with a new COVID-19 restriction that goes into affect on Wednesday in Michigan.\u00a0 Michigan Gov.
