The annual winter break has come to an end on Monday, and competition is set to resume.

The break, which began on Dec. 24, marked a nine-day hiatus for games, meets and matches. The annual stoppage has been in place for years.

There’s a light slate on Monday, but things really pick up on Tuesday with a heavier schedule.

Looking ahead, the first-ever girls-only wrestling tournament will be held at Frederick High School on Jan. 14. It’s part of a trial to judge the interest in girls wrestling around the state.

Soon after, state championships will begin.

Girls swimming’s state meets will be Feb. 9-11, state wrestling is Feb. 16-18, and state skiing is Feb. 23-24 in Steamboat.

The following month, hockey’s semifinals and championship are March 3-4, and basketball’s finals are March 9-11.
