Many, but not all, of the athletes who tested positive for the coronavirus had attended an off-campus social gathering more than a week ago, according to a release from the health department. All student-athletes were placed under quarantine to make sure no one is missed during contact tracing, health officials said.

“My concern for the health of all of our student-athletes is paramount,” said David Sayler, director of athletics. “I am disappointed that poor judgment has led to this quarantine order and put in jeopardy our efforts to have our teams study and practice together.”
