Marquette Athletics announced a delay to the start of voluntary workouts for all sports Tuesday evening because of increased cases of COVID-19 in Milwaukee.
“Due to a rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in the Milwaukee Area, we will be delaying the start of voluntary and NCAA-permissible organized workouts indefinitely,” the statement said. “All athletic facilities, including Valley Fields, will remain closed to student-athletes. With our inability to identify a return date at this time, a majority of the student-athletes already in Milwaukee have decided to return home after discussions with their respective parents and coaches.”
As of July 14, there have been 14,399 confirmed positive cases of the coronavirus in Milwaukee County according to the Wisconsin State Health Department.
