The state’s indoor track teams have their final regular-season meets before the DIAA championships, which are scheduled for Feb. 4 in Prince George County, Md. It’s also a big week for dual meets on the wrestling mat, with notable action in both Division I and II. On the hardwood, Delaware’s top-ranked team makes a trip to a notoriously tough location for visitors.
