ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – After the pandemic forced its cancelation in 2020, the University of Central Florida is planning to bring back a beloved homecoming tradition in 2021: Spirit Splash.
UCF said this will be the first time the school has hosted Spirit Splash in the spring. The event typically sees a large portion of the student body run headlong into the pond on the school’s campus in a show of school spirit.
The tradition always brings out a large crowd, which is problematic when health experts call for social distancing. [TRENDING: 1 dead in Rolls Royce crash | Mom, boyfriend arrested after toddler drowns | How to get the vaccine in Fla.] Because of that, the school is trying something new next week.
