"With each passing day, we need to show our respect, yet carry on our activities that exemplify the American spirit," added Voelz. "We have therefore decided to observe the National Day of Mourning on Friday, yet host our events on Saturday and Sunday. We have spoken with all 20 teams with whom we were scheduled to host in competition in golf, cross country, soccer and volleyball. We will respect each institution's decision in terms of travel and competition, and will work with the schools in attendance to reformat the competition schedule as needed. Join us for a moment of silence prior to each event, as well as, the reflection of the spirit of America as seen through intercollegiate athletics."
