WESTFIELD – High school spring practices are under way in the Whip City. Players for Westfield Voc-Tech baseball found some space in the gym, and outside in a clearing on a side street among snow piles and icy fields. While local teams hope temperatures will rise in order to make outdoor surfaces playable, Westfield State University’s baseball and softball fields are still unplayable. Games for March 19 have been postponed for the Owls.
The Jerry Gravel Outdoor Track & Field Classic scheduled for Saturday, March 22, at Westfield State University has also been cancelled because of snow and ice conditions at Alumni Field and will not be rescheduled. However, the Westfield men’s and women’s track and field squads will be competing in at the Wesleyan University Invitational this Saturday, March 22, in Middletown, Conn., beginning at 11 a.m.
Westfield State will host an outdoor track and field meet on April 12 and also host the All-New England championships (Divisions I, II, III) on May 9-10. (Photos by Chris Putz)
