Mizzou Wrestling head coach Brian Smith has issued the following statement in response to the NCAA's decision to cancel all remaining winter and spring championship events: 

Obviously, today's news is really tough to digest and while I feel for our seniors who will miss their final NCAA Championship, I know this decision is being made with the well-being of our student-athletes as the highest priority. The situation has been fluid and ever-changing, and decisions like this are not easy to make. I know our kids are heartbroken, but I know that they understand that this decision was a difficult one, and one with their best intentions in mind. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who has been affected by COVID-19.
