The Siuslaw Vikings track and field team will compete in a five-school Sky-Em JV Districts meet Tuesday instead of traveling to Newport for a three-school meet with Newport and Philomath.

"Newport won't let us come to them for sports since Lane County has moved to extreme (covid risk)," Siuslaw coach Chris Johnson said, "so track and field will travel to Junction City on Tuesday rather than Newport."

Also competing are Elmira, Cottage Grove, Marist and host Junction City. Marshfield is not entered.

Field events get underway at 4:30 p.m., track events at 5.
