UW Athletics Cancels Events, Training and Workouts Through Spring Quarter

The University of Washington athletic department has announced it will cancel all athletic-related activities and events, including workouts, training and practices, as well as football’s Pro Day & Spring Game, through the end of the spring quarter (June 5) for all student-athletes.

Department leadership and the medical team will continue to assess and monitor the situation and be ready to make appropriate decisions based on guidance from health officials about resuming athletic-related events and activities.

This decision was made in accordance with campus, state and CDC officials and follows the university’s announcement Wednesday to move the entirety of Spring Quarter to online-only learning to mitigate the further spread of COVID-19.
