The North Coast Athletic Conference, home of Division III swimming powers Kenyon & Denison<\/a>, has announced it has cancelled conference championships for winter sports, as well as conference play. Institutions may make individual decisions regarding outside competition during the winter season, according to a release<\/a> sent out by the conference. Many students will not be returning to their schools for the spring semester until late January or early February.<\/p>\n

The nine institutions in the NCAC will not return student-athletes to campus for practices or other athletically related activity between Thanksgiving and New Year\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

The NCAC will continue to explore all options and plan for a safe return to intercollegiate competition, with the health and well-being of students, faculty, staff, and our broader communities our foremost concern. As the pandemic evolves, we will continue to monitor changing federal, state, and local guidance, and we will consult with each other as well as public health authorities and the NCAA as we plan for our eventual return to conference competition.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The NCAC is the second Division III conference to cancel its winter sports season, after the NESCAC<\/a> on the east coast did the same thing earlier this week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
