WMU athletic director Kathy Beauregard responds to MAC's cancellation of athletic events

On Thursday, the Mid-American Conference announced the cancellation of all athletic competition for the remainder of the 2019-20 academic calendar year due to COVID-19 concerns.

WMU athletic director Kathy Beauregard said in a statement that while the situation is disappointing for student-athletes, she agrees with the decision from the conference.

"Our teams, fans and communities have all been behind us. Most important is the safety of our student-athletes, staff, fans and communities. It is disappointing for our student-athlete, especially our seniors. It is hard. But the right decisions have been made. We trust that the right decisions will continue to be made to fight this worldwide virus," Beauregard said.
