CHESHIRE, Conn. — The poor air quality has forced the CIAC to postpone high school lacrosse games leading to the championship to Friday.
The organization has already postponed the semifinal games that were originally scheduled for Wednesday.
The decision was made due to the concerns of the "high aerobic intensity nature of lacrosse."
This means the Boys and Girls Lacrosse championship games have been pushed back to Sunday and Monday. This is the new championship schedule, with all games taking place at Sacred Heart University:
Sunday June 11
Boys Class S Championship – 10:00am
Boys Class M Championship – 12:30pm
Boys Class L Championship – 3:00pm
Girls Class S Championship – 5:30pm
Monday June 12
Girls Class M Championship – 6:00pm
Girls Class L Championship – 8:00pm
The Tennis championships were also postponed Wednesday, and will be held indoors Thursday and Friday.
CIAC's championship baseball, softball and golf events, including the Golf State Open, are running as scheduled.
Smoke from Canadian wildfires has blanketed the Northeast for the better part of the past week.
