The impact of COVID-19 has entered unchartered waters. Our courts are silent, we are not hearing the crack of the bat, or the swing of the club. The splash of the water was halted mid-stream. There is no other place that I would rather be than cheering our teams on to victory. Athletics are the front porch to our University and without them, we have lost a valued part of our community. We have had to quickly change our normal to conform to the needs of our society. We have been told to wash hands, stay home, work remotely, and avoid groups greater than 10. Social distancing is our new normal. We must be good neighbors and teammates and follow the recommended guidelines to keep our families and neighbors safe. 

Our lives have been temporarily changed and we are all hurting for our student-athletes as the very things they work so hard for everyday were abruptly taken away. We can only imagine the accomplishments that were to come. But we are Argos, we are Champions for Life and we will be resilient. We will overcome this challenge together. Our coaches and staff are working hard to ensure the safety and well-being of our student-athletes. There are uncertainties in our future and we will continue to address each need as it arises. What I do know is that UWF is a special place and Intercollegiate Athletics are committed to excellence. We have been and will continue to be champions in the classroom and in our sports. We will get through this pandemic together and we will return strong and continue Building Champions for Life.

To our fans and supporters, thank you for your unwavering support of our athletic teams. I am proud to be a member of the ARGO family. I thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this trying time. I know that we will return strong and I look forward to sitting in the stands  with all of ARGO NATION and cheering on our teams when we return. 

Stay Safe and Go Argos.
