WIAC Cancels Spring Sports Season, Suspends Practices & Recruiting

The Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC)
has cancelled the spring sports season for all of its member schools, and taken
additional measures to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

The conference said in a news release Monday the spring
sports season – including baseball, softball, track & field, women’s
lacrosse, golf and tennis – is canceled, effective immediately. The conference
has also suspended practices and both on, and off-campus recruiting activities.
In addition, the conference will shift all conference meetings from in-person
meetings to conference calls until further notice.

The release says the decisions were made to determine what
is “in the best short term and long term interest of our campuses and
student-athletes, while prioritizing the health and safety of the general
public.”
