Portland Fall Sports Competitions Delayed Until September 24

PORTLAND, Ore. (PortlandPilots.com) – The West Coast Conference Presidents' Council announced Thursday morning that the fall sports competition start date for all 10 institutions has been delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The new WCC start date for fall competition will be Thursday, September 24.

"The safety of our student-athletes, coaches and staff is the highest priority," said Portland Vice President for Athletics Scott Leykam. "Delaying competitions gives us the best chance of both ensuring the well-being of our community, while also leaving open the possibility of still competing in the fall."

The WCC Presidents' Council convened on Wednesday night and made the decision in consultation with WCC Commissioner Gloria Nevarez and Conference Athletic Directors.
