SIOUX FALLS, S.D.—Summit League Commissioner Tom Douple announced Friday that all spring sports have been cancelled given the current status of COVID-19. This cancellation includes all non-conference, conference and championship competitions for Summit League members through the end of the 2019-20 academic year.
 
"The decision yesterday to suspend spring sports for the month of March gave the League roughly 24 hours to collect as much information as possible," said Douple. "After we imposed the suspension, the NCAA announced the cancellation of all its spring championship events.
 
"Based upon that announcement and discussions with members of our Summit League Presidents' Council last night and into this morning, we determined it is in the best interest of our student-athletes, our staffs, and our fans to proceed with cancelling all spring competitions."
 
University of South Dakota was set to host the Summit League Outdoor Track and Field Championship Meet May 14-16 at Lillibridge Track Complex. The Coyotes will now host the event in 2021.
