All Pierre School District athletic events scheduled to take place through Monday have been postponed and all marching band practices and performances through Monday have been canceled.
Earlier this week, T.F. Riggs High School band director Mackenzie McKeithan-Jensen announced Pierre would be hosting a marching band competition on Saturday– which is now canceled.
The Pierre School District updates its website each Monday with the number of coronavirus cases in staff and students. It currently reports five students and zero teachers have the virus. Student athletes have been identified as close contacts to some of those five cases.
Athletic postponements include:
- Thursday’s soccer matches at Sioux Falls Roosevelt
- Friday’s football game at Tea Area
- Friday’s home volleyball match against Yankton
- Saturday’s home volleyball match against Douglas
- Saturday’s competitive cheer/dance competition in Brookings
