Team,
We received notice this evening that NIRCA has officially cancelled Track & Field Nationals with no possibility for a change in either date or venue. The board met tonight to discuss this matter along with how we wish to continue with the rest of the season given the uncertainty which lies ahead. At this time, we do not plan on sending athletes to meets the rest of the semester.
With that being said, this is not a complete shutdown of our season. For those of you who wish to continue your training we will work to provide a consistent practice schedule. Our event coaches will be sending out information in the near future regarding how your training group will proceed after break. In the event policies change at our university and others which allow us the ability to compete, we intend to do so. I encourage you all to continue your involvement with this team in some capacity the rest of the season. What I believe makes this group special is not the performances we have at meets, but the passion, energy, and love you all carry for this sport and your teammates.
On a personal note, I want to congratulate everyone who set new PR”s and broke their goals this indoor season. There”s nothing I”ve enjoyed more than watching you all compete. As I”ve said before, this is an extremely talented team. I had no doubt we would be coming home from Nationals with two trophies. I know you all will make up for it next year. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
Love,
Cody Lund
Head Coach
