After broad consultation with university leadership and medical experts, as well as reviews of federal and national guidance, we have decided to permit limited competition for the baseball, softball, men's and women's tennis and men's and women's outdoor track and field teams. Competition will not begin prior to March 13.
This decision is only possible because progress in reducing COVID-19 prevalence on campus and across the country, increasing vaccination rates, and the outdoor nature of spring sports. It also requires that all student -athletes, coaches and other staff adhere fully to the protocols detailed by our national associations, state and county officials, and athletic department and university health leaders.
