Teacher Ed Student Maura Henderson Keeps Running
Apr. 17, 2020
It's Thursday, March 12. Maura Henderson has a hard time getting out the door for her morning run. "I finally get myself out and slog through four miles… barely," she said. "Then, I walk in and hear the news." All Patriot League spring seasons are canceled. "In a physical manner, it felt like the world stopped," said Henderson. "You could feel things stop moving."
That day, the Patriot League announced the cancellation of all spring sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The NCAA would go on to cancel its winter and spring championships later that afternoon. Imagine pouring hours upon hours into your sport, then it's over just like that.
