According to the Associated Press, the University Interscholastic League has decided to postpone all competition - athletic and academic - until May 11 because of the swine flu outbreak.
Here is the story that just ran on the AP:AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas officials are postponing all high school athletic competition until May 11 because of the swine flu outbreak.
The move suspends the baseball season and eliminates the regional track championships, said University Interscholastic League Executive Director Charles Breithaupt. He said UIL officials acted on the recommendation of public health officials.
The state golf and tennis championships are scheduled to begin May 11.
The state track meet, one of the largest high school track and field competitions in the country, remains scheduled for May 13-14. But it will require shuffling the schedule significantly.
All UIL academic competitions are postponed as well.
This affects a lot of Dogwood Circle sports, including bi-district playoff softball games on Friday night and regional track meets this weekend. No information is known on how this will be dealt with but I will update as soon as I find out.
