Athletic Director Nelson Gifford discusses the future of high school sports after preseason training was suspended. While the release of updated guidance from the state has been delayed until at least Jan. 1, Gifford said he is hopeful about the eventual release of a plan outlining returning to play. “If they had guidance, that means they had a plan to restart youth sports,” Gifford said. “If they had a plan then that plan still exists. That plan might change, but we hope they’re going to release that plan sooner rather than later.”

Athletic Director and Varsity Football Coach Nelson Gifford congratulates the Palo Alto High School varsity football team for a victory during the 2019 season at Viking Stadium. Over the summer, some Palo Alto Unified School District campuses reopened for socially distanced summer conditioning and several athletic teams at Paly held practices for five weeks before the Santa Clara County prohibited athletics activities. As athletics and the county start to reopen again, Gifford said he believes that contact sports will be able to play if in-person instruction begins.

Athletic conditioning scheduled to return mid-September

Nari, the robot built by the Palo Alto HIgh School Robotics team, successfully completes the climb at the Utah Regional competition on March 7, where the team won first place and earned a spot to compete in the FIRST World Championships. However, on March 12, FIRST canceled all competitions in order to prioritize health and safety in response to the coronavirus pandemic. “I think it’s a smart decision,” driver for the robot and Software Captain Jason Liu said. “Robotics competitions are packed with people and often in close quarters.” Photo: Julian Kobayashi
