			 M-WAC Athletics Directors have jointly agreed to 
			suspend their seasons though April 3rd in reaction to the 
			Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. 
 The decision directly preceded the NJCAA announcement of a 
			suspension of the collegiate season.
 
 NJCAA officials stated that should conditions improve, regions and 
			individual colleges will be allowed to resume regular season 
			competition in a format and time period following April 3rd that has 
			been approved by the region.
 
			
			   Heartland Hawks 
			Baseball and Softball teams will continue to practice with 
			additional measures added to reduce risk of exposure to COVID-19.

            Practices will be primarily held outdoors with indoor 
			practices limited to a maximum of 25 players. The Athletics 
			department will also take other precautionary measures such as 
			monitoring, social distancing and enhanced sanitization of 
			facilities before and after practice.
 The Fitness and Recreation Center (FRC) will remain closed through 
			March 22 for a deep cleaning. College officials will make a 
			determination during the extended Spring Break period on the use of 
			the FRC following March 22.
