Jackson Acker watched as classes went virtual and the spring sports season and his pursuit of a state title in the discus were wiped out by concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I really had big expectations for track,” said Acker, who finished second in the discus at the 2019 WIAA Division 1 state track and field meet. “The whole COVID thing, I can’t argue against (the WIAA canceling the spring sports season). I’d much rather have everyone be safe than have one season of track. Still, I hope we have next season. I’m hoping to have a big senior year and hope to make a statement my senior year.
