The Wisconsin Intracollegiate Athletic Conference sent out a memo on March 16 announcing the cancellation of the 2020 Spring sports season, due to COVID-19.
This means that no baseball, softball, outdoor track, tennis, and golf will be cancelled this season at UW-Whitewater. The WIAC also cancelled women’s lacrosse around the state because of the impending medical emergency.
The memo also forbid the practicing of sports teams and forced coaches to let their players go home, an outcome everyone was hoping for.
Since the estimated timetable to return to normal life after COVID-19 is constantly changing, the conference orginizers decided that a full season cancellation will be put in place.
The conference has also announced that all athletes will be refunded their eligibility and allowed to compete in following seasons.
Fall sports such as football and soccer are still planning to be performed as scheduled, but are subject to change.
