COVID-19 had temporarily interrupted studies for student at ELAC, but the athletes who play Spring Season sports may not have the benefit of just being briefly interrupted.
Due to COVID-19, all fall sports have been rescheduled to start in January 2021, and spring sports will begin in February 2021. However, with no permission to enter the ELACs gym it seems that not only will Fall sports be rescheduled and possibly canceled, but so will spring sports.
With all fall sports shifting to spring, ELAC wrestler Josue Aguilar prepares for the beginning of the season.
Aguilar, 19, is currently a sophomore and was one of the finalists at last year’s state tournament.
