CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Big South Conference announced today the cancellation of the 2021 Big South Indoor Track & Field Championships. The event was originally scheduled for Feb. 27-28 at JDL Fast Track in Winston-Salem, N.C. All events at that facility have been canceled for the foreseeable future.
The Big South Council of Athletics Directors determined canceling the championships instead of seeking alternate venues just seven weeks away from the event was the most prudent course of action to ensure the health and safety of student-athletes.
Winthrop had opted out of the indoor track season prior to the Big South's decision to cancel the championships but will compete in the outdoor season.
The Big South will continue its plans to host the Cross Country Championships at Winthrop University, and the Outdoor Track & Field Championships at High Point University.
