DE PERE – With a majority of Midwest Conference (MWC) member institutions making public announcements about education plans this fall, the league’s presidents’ council recently met to discuss the fall sports season.
At this time, the conference will continue to move forward with planning for a fall season but will eliminate all non-conference competition.
The first games for most colleges will begin in late September.
St. Norbert College, members of the MWC, will update its online schedules as new schedules are developed and released.
Additionally, MWC colleague Grinnell College has already canceled all competition through its fall term.
The MWC COVID-19 Working Group will continue its efforts toward the development of a common set of criteria for the screening and monitoring of COVID-19 to protect the health of student-athletes and college communities when intercollegiate competition resumes.
The presidents are in consensus that close monitoring of the COVID-19 landscape is ongoing and fall competition may not occur if public health guidance changes in the coming weeks.
Further announcements regarding MWC athletics for 2020-21 will be released in the weeks ahead.
