CORONA VIRUS and ATHLETICS - UPDATE 3/25/20

3/25/2020
Mayo Spartans,

As you all may be aware, Governor Walz has enacted distance learning through the end of April.  Students will not return to school until at least May 4, and that is subject to change.  The MSHSL has suspended all activities during the school closure.  This means we will not have any spring activities until at least May 4.  We expect to hear more from the MSHSL over the next few days but for now we are in another holding pattern.  The Big 9 Athletic Directors have been meeting regularly via video conferencing and will be meeting again tomorrow afternoon.  We continue to make plans for a possible abbreviated season and hopefully a post season.  This obviously has become a week by week scenario, and we continue to receive directions from our Governor, MSHSL and district leaders; we will react accordingly.  We encourage you to follow Governor Walz’s directions and be safe!

I know our athletes benefit from being connected to our programs in so many ways, but it is at times like this that we see the overwhelming importance of a solid network of teammates and coaches to support each other.  I will continue to give updates navigating through this unprecedented time. 

Please continue to watch the MSHSL and Mayo Activities website for up-to-date press releases.  

Please stay safe and healthy.  

Take care,

Jeff Whitney
Activities Director

CORONA VIRUS and ATHLETICS

Mayo Spartan Family

As you all are very aware, that due to the ongoing uncertainty of the Corona Virus our Spring athletic season is on a big HOLD at this time.  Please continue to check our website for up-to-date information at www.mayospartans.org

If you want the latest MSHSL info, please click on the MSHSL logo (Located on the left) for their updates, but Parents/guardians and students PLEASE do not email or call the MSHSL staff with questions or concerns.
Please direct your questions to Jeff Whitney at jewhitney@rochester.k12.mn.us 

Activities Directors and Coaches Associations across Minnesota are concerned about their student-athletes and coaches.  By reading false information on social media rather than it coming directly from the MSHSL to member schools will only cause more confusion and frustration.    

I will tell you, as crazy and chaotic as our office is, I am missing it all,  but I really miss my athletes and all of their smiles, questions and of course them just stopping in to check in and to say "hi" 

I promise you, I will keep you updated as best I can in regards to what is happening with our Mayo athletic family.  Please don't hesitate to reach out as I am sure there will be many unanswered questions as we move forward.  

The one thing I can tell you to be prepared for is, if you think that your son or daughter will need a physical for next fall, (if you are unsure, email me and I will look), please keep in the back of your mind that once we get thru this crisis that you will need to get an appointment and get me that physical (emailed/mailed) as soon as you can.  My plan (and hope) is to open up fall registration as we always have on July 1st, but as you know...  it won't let you if the physical isn't on file or has expired.

I will continue to update this site as I get more info and as we move forward so check back frequently.

MOST IMPORTANTLY.... Please, please please keep your families and our athletes safe.  I can't wait to see them all again in our hallways, in our weight room, on our fields/courts and them just being kids again!!!  

You can contact me anytime, my contact info is on this homepage as well.

STAY SAFE EVERYONE!!!!!
