The YMCA has announced that they will be cancelling the long course summer championships that were set for this summer July 28 – August 1 in Greensboro, North Carolina. As the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to evolve, the YMCA remains focused on supporting YMCAs and their communities through unprecedented and unpredictable circumstances, according to its press release.<\/p>\n

The YMCA short course championships<\/a> was one of the first events in the United States that was cancelled because of the pandemic as it was the first time since 1947 when\u00a0Harry S. Truman\u00a0<\/strong>was in office.<\/p>\n

The YMCA released this statement:<\/p>\n

\n

“This was not an easy decision for Y-USA to make. We recognize this will be incredibly disappointing for the athletes, teams and families who were looking forward to the Long Course competition season. We will continue to work to find ways to recognize and honor the achievements and hard work of athletes and teams who will not get to compete in 2020.<\/p>\n

We will share further updates as they become available. Thank you for your understanding as we work to ensure the viability, health and safety of our Y community.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
