- Athletic Practices This Fall
Athletic practices are set to begin on Sept. 20 following the completion of medical and compliance clearance this week. In an email from Stevie Baker-Watson, she said that all athletes are also required to take an antibody test. It’s important to do this because it shows the athletic and medical staff which student-athletes have been exposed to but, not officially diagnosed with COVID-19. Student-athletes who have tested positive for or who have been exposed to COVID-19 will also receive a cardiac screening for Myocarditis, a condition that places students at a higher risk of cardiac arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death.
