On March 12, the Sun Belt Conference announced that regular-season competitions and conference championships in all sports are suspended indefinitely due to the concerns surrounding the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
This decision was made in consultation with the league's Presidents, Chancellors and Directors of Athletics to protect the health and wellness of student-athletes, coaches, staff and fans.
Also on Thursday afternoon, the NCAA canceled all remaining 2020 winter and spring NCAA championships. A school-record six App State wrestlers had been invited to the NCAA Wrestling Championships that was scheduled to be held next week in Minneapolis, Minn.
On Wednesday, Appalachian State University officials extended spring break until March 23, at which time the university will transition from in-person instruction to alternative course delivery methods.
