NEWPORT NEWS, VA- Director of Athletics Kyle McMullin announced today that all athletic events scheduled through the upcoming weekend have been postponed due to the potential impact of Hurricane Florence.
 
"The safety of our student-athletes and their families is paramount," McMullin said. "Obviously there are a lot of unknowns as to what we will be facing, but our coaches will work hard to re-schedule as many of the events as possible when conditions return to normal."
