Chadron State is feeling its athletics world come to a screeching halt along with the rest of the nation as we all begin to understand just how serious containing the spread of COVID-19 has become by watching college and professional sports leagues canceling or postponing events, and seasons.
The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference issued a statement Thursday evening saying that all championships and non-championships would be suspended through April 6.
Chadron State wrestlers and track-&-field National Championship qualifiers will not be competing this weekend as all NCAA championships have been canceled.
The RMAC went on to note that limitations were being put on fall sports that are currently practicing or about to, such as spring football. The extent of those limitations isn't fully clear and we are working with CSC athletics to determine what the RMAC's decision means for the upcoming CSC spring football schedule set to begin on March 23, as well as the spring game April 18.
Chadron State softball was supposed to play at MSU-Denver this weekend but those four games - as well as a dozen others, 16 in all - have been wiped off the slate.
The RMAC's official statement can be read here.
