The spring sport athletes were the ones most immediately affected when the COVID-19 pandemic started to pick up momentum in the United States. However, as the pandemic continues into the pre-summer months, fall sport athletes are beginning to question whether their season will be affected or canceled altogether.
Kaylyn Winkler plays middle for SMU’s volleyball team. After transferring and using the 2019 season as a year to learn the ropes at SMU, Winkler is ready to compete this fall. Like the spring athletes who had their seasons canceled, she said she would be disappointed if her upcoming season is affected.
