WVC Athletics competitions suspended

Wenatchee, WA- With the current situation regarding COVID-19 continuing to take hold in our region, all WVC Athletics related travel, as well as home competitions, are suspended until further notice pending league meetings to be convened this week.

The NWAC men's and women's basketball tournaments have been cancelled, and the spring sport seasons are on a temporary hold until league officials can determine the best course of action going forward.

"Our greatest concern is the health and safety of our students and staff, as well as all those who support them in their educational and athletic endeavors.  Until we know more about how we can best ensure their safety given the current situation, we will pause, plan, and hope for resolution soon," Athletic Director Kyle Vierck said.  "We hope to have more clarity later this week on what the NWAC has planned for spring competition.  We are heartbroken for the winter student-athletes whose season has ended so abruptly under such difficult circumstances."

Practices will continue for the programs in the meantime as long as campus is open, but all non-essential events taking place in athletic facilities at WVC will be evaluated for postponement or cancellation on a case-by-case basis and in consultation with WVC administration.
