Kirksville has an open aquatic center once again.
After a voter-approved sales tax to fund the project and a lengthy design process where the financials were tested, construction began last February.

Just about every part of life was affected in some way, and high school athletics were not spared. Many districts across Washington state severely limited teams ability to play and practice, and some canceled entire seasons in certain sports entirely.
The 2020 Fall football season was canceled in Washington, but the WIAA pushed the season to spring, allowing most teams to play a shortened schedule and make something of an otherwise dreadful year.
