UT fall sports teams forced to adjust to autumn without competition

University of Toledo cross country and track and field coach Andrea Grove-McDonough had the unfortunate task this spring of telling her student-athletes the rest of their track and field season was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Fast forward a few months later, and Grove-McDonough had do it all over again to a new group with some overlap from the spring season.

The postponement of fall sports by the Mid-American Conference took a toll on her athletes, as well as others at Toledo, who had been looking forward to competing this fall.

"It feels like every time we have something we can focus on and look forward to, it's canceled," Grove-McDonough said.
