Rare season-ending championships in coronavirus era will be held in May thanks to ability to conduct event virtually.

Panthers win DODEA-Europe event conducted remotely at each participating school in typical dominating fashion.

Panthers and Wildcats top their divisions in cheerleading competition conducted virtually.

In the inaugural fitness games competition, Ramstein’s boys team, Kaiserslautern’s co-ed team and Wiesbaden’s girls team came out on top.

It might be remembered in future years as one of the strangest DODEA-Europe fall sports seasons in history.

Cross country finals could still happen Saturday, with virtual competitions in cross country, cheer and European Athletic Fitness Games set next week.

Volleyball, dropped in the fall along with football in an attempt to curb the spread of COVID-19, will be offered in the winter — not only for girls but for boys.

Cross country, golf, tennis start again this week - the first time DODEA-Europe athletes have competed in seven months.

Football and volleyball are out this fall because of the coronavirus pandemic. Enter an eight-event team competition that bears at least some resemblance to a heptathlon or decathlon.

It appears that — at least for now — competition among rival schools will only happen in person in Germany. But golfers, cross country runners, tennis players and cheerleaders are all back to perfecting their skills.
