Official word from on the spring events. Too bad, we wanted to see and defend their titles in Omaha! ðŸ†ðŸ†

@KurtEarl14
Sad day for so many across our state.
— Kurt Earl (@KurtEarl14)
Obviously, there are millions of people all over the world suffering through much more severe consequences than this and we know this is just part of a much greater tragedy. Thank you for your leadership in this challenging time.

stop living in fear of things that might not even happen. Losing hope for the future is not going to help anything!

@HuskerlandBob
And one more thing. Like many of you I have several friends on the Board of Control. These are good, decent people put in a terrible situation, forced to make decisions that have far reaching consequences. I applaud your efforts, friends.

@HuskerSalts
Sucks. This year was my sons senior year and his last year to play for his team. I really feel for those young men and ladies.
— Travis Salts (@HuskerSalts)
@lisachudie
Did the executive director or the Board of Governors consider playing the spring sports in the summer?

@Ladyjeffstrack
The Spring Sports Season has been canceled! My heart breaks for each and every girl on our team and especially for the Seniors! Seniors, thanks for everything you have done for our program! You were a great group to work with! Ladies, One last time work it to...
— Lady Jeffs Track (@Ladyjeffstrack)
@Huskyladysoccer
I am not sure I have the words right now to truly express myself after learning the spring sports season is officially done. Once I have the words another tweet will come. For right now, please know that amount of love I have for these girls in unexplainable.

@PsouthBlackHole
We are extremely sad by the news of no spring sports, as we were looking forward to cheering on all our teams. We want to thank everyone who has been a part of the black hole this year, whether that be students or parents! Stay safe and strong during this time.

@AGBluejayFball
Seniors - Thank you for everything. It is completely unfair but if any group of Seniors can handle this situation, it is you! From the bottom of our hearts, we feel for you. Lean on each other each day. Create memories any way you can.

@papiosouth
While I believe it was the right call, I am absolutely devastated for our seniors this year. They worked so hard for four years to have a chance to do something great for our school. We will be better because of this. Stay strong, stay safe, and stay positive!

@lsw_track
It is a sad day because we have to cancel the rest of the season. That doesn’t mean all your hard work was for nothing. Let your efforts carry you on to greater things in your future. Go Hawks!!!!

@runmybest1234
This coaching staff would like to thank the seniors for a great 4 years! Many of you have been apart of something special in helping this program accomplish things it has never done and the rest of the program will continue to do great things!Best of luck to you guys

@robertelse
Fully understand decision by NSAA to cancel the spring season, but feel heartbroken for all the athletes. Especially, the seniors that never get to put the school uniform on again. It's not even like the NCAA where they can just grant them another year of eligibility.
— Rob Else (@robertelse)
@YorkDukeTandF
If you haven’t heard, the NSAA has officially cancelled the track and field season. I am sad for everyone that lost this season. My heart goes out to all the seniors that didn’t get one last chance. I am so sorry this had to happen.

@HastingsSpeed
Was really excited to see what the 2020 team could do. Unfortunately circumstances won’t allow it. My thoughts turn to our seniors who impacted this team in all aspects of leadership, kindness, & work ethic. Thank you for commitment & all the special memories!
— Hastings Track & Field (@HastingsSpeed)
@GrossHSBaseball
Certainly not the news we were hoping for regarding the spring season. Thank you to our seniors for your years of hard work and dedication.
— Gross Catholic Baseb (@GrossHSBaseball)
Collin, Nate B, Gio, Nate F, Garret, Max, Nolan, Jake, Colby, Trystan and Colin you are outstanding leaders and great teammates.
@tfowler3
This is disappointing but yet realistic. There is no sporting activity or event more important than people's lives. My prayer is that we can be back to normal by the fall. If we aren't, then that means there's still illness, death, unemployment, and hardship to too many.
— Toni (@tfowler3)

Every new announcement has me like this..... I’m ready for some positive news

Today I have a heavy heart. It breaks for all the athletes that have been working since October. Putting in the early morning workouts and the late nights studying.

Sad they couldn’t wait to see what happens in a couple weeks & or even extend into the summer.

With spring sports coming to an end, I want to thank the Norris class of 2020 for changing the culture of Norris Athletics/Activities. You seniors have created winning programs for all Norris activities and have left an extremely positive mark on the Norris Community, thank you!

@lisachudie
I'm confused mostly, . The pandemic is so bad that my HS senior can't play baseball or go to school. There might not be prom or graduation. But people are shopping. There is no stay-at-home order. What gives? These are seriously mixed messages.

Seniors, It's safe to say your last year of high school has not finished anything like we had planned or hoped. We still want to celebrate your successes with a Senior Spotlight. It's optional, appreciated and now open for your stories. Thank you!

@gracieschweers
Thank you Millard North, for giving my best friends and making me into the player and person I am today. I am forever grateful for every time I stepped out on that turf, and I wish I could just be out there one more time. Roll Stangs forever.

You seniors were unable to end your school year the way that you wanted. But you will learn and grow from this ordeal. You have learned to be resilient, innovative, and creative with your actions and thoughts. Move forward and become more successful due to this.

@Fremont_Tennis
Well, that’s it. With the NSAA’s announcement this morning, the 2020 girls’ tennis season is over before it really ever began. While I’m disappointed that I didn’t get a chance to coach this team in competition, I’m thankful for the time we did have together. (Cont...)

I’ve had a lot of great experiences in my time running high school track and cross country. My favorites were running alongside my brother as well as winning a state championship this fall. Thanks to everyone who made the last 4 years great!
