NJAC Announces the Cancellation of Fall Sports Season<\/strong><\/p>\n

The New Jersey Athletic Conference<\/strong><\/a> announced its decision to cancel fall sports on Tuesday, albeit with the possibility that seasons will be conducted in the spring. Although swimming is a winter sport in the NJAC, the fact that the COVID-19 pandemic has wiped out another conference\u2019s fall campaign<\/a> is a concern for whether the winter season will be held.<\/p>\n

As COVID-19 continues to rise in some states and maintains a presence throughout the country, the potential of any conferences holding fall seasons is in doubt. Come winter, six schools sponsor swimming in the NJAC: Ramapo, The College of New Jersey, Montclair State, William Patterson, Rowan and Kean (women).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NJAC will pursue every avenue within the NCAA governance structure to explore the provision of a competitive season for the fall sport student-athletes during the spring 2021 semester and allow them to engage in practice and training opportunities during the fall 2020 semester,\u201d the conference said in a statement.<\/p>\n

In addition to college conferences being forced to rearrange their schedules due to COVID-19, high school athletics organizations around the nation have been canceling or postponing their seasons to protect the health of student-athletes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
