Due to a student athlete testing positive for COVID-19 Missouri State’s entire swimming and diving team has recently finished a period of self-quarantine.
Since June 1, all of MSU’s non-freshman swimming and diving team members have been practicing for the eventual start of their 2020-2021 season, which does not have a start date yet. To participate, the student-athletes were instructed to follow the re-entry requirements, which consisted of taking a risk assessment survey, then going through COVID-19 clearance procedures.
“Considering that most of these athletes have been doing this since June 1; and that activities are continuously getting pushed back, I can say that the morale of the athletes as a whole is disappointment,” Director of Athletics Kyle Moats said.
