Limestone Cancels Athletic Seasons For Rest Of The Academic Year

Limestone College has announced the cancellation of all athletic seasons for the rest of the academic year in response to the global Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on Friday, March 13.

The decision comes a day after Conference Carolinas suspended all athletic competitions until further notice, essentially ending the year for Limestone Athletics as they complied with the league's mandate that all winter and spring athletic seasons were to be suspended effective immediately.
