Just wanted to update you regarding the air quality/decision to host. I have a midterm until 3:30, then I will be consulting with our Sports Club and Athletic departments to reach a decision about whether we will be hosting Stoney Burke. We will reach a decision before 5:30 pm PST in order to ensure traveling teams can refund their flights and accommodations in time.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions but I will be unavailable to answer until after 3:30 pm.
