Dear Middlebury Community,

Earlier today, the NESCAC presidents announced that all conference competition for the 2020–21 winter season has been canceled. Given this decision, and the continuing need to prioritize the health and safety of our community, Middlebury will not hold any athletic competitions during the winter season. As they did in the fall, our coaches will continue to hold team practices, workouts, and/or other activities for winter athletes when they return to campus in the spring as conditions allow. 

A decision about spring sports will be made in coming months in coordination with the NCAA and NESCAC. While the NESCAC has not yet addressed spring sport competitions, spring athletes should be aware that current conditions would not allow us to engage in competition. If a decision is made to move forward with spring NESCAC competition, we will announce a separate February return date for spring athletes. 
 
The College also announced today its plans for the J-term and spring semester. 
 

Sincerely,
 
Erin Quinn, Director of Athletics
Jeff Cason, Provost
