Texas spring sports seasons suspended because of swine flu outbreak

By Marc Pendleton | Wednesday, April 29, 2009, 03:54 PM

Here’s a headline you’ll never want to read in the DDN: Area spring sports suspended because of swine flu outbreak.

No such luck in Texas. Mexico’s border state has canceled all athletic events until May 11 because of the spreading disease. Affected are the baseball, softball and track & field seasons.

An estimated 53,000 Texas students are out of school because of symptom concerns. Also, dozens of Texas high schools will be sanitized.

The Texas state T&F meet is among the nation’s biggest and best. It’s scheduled for May 12-14.

There have been 16 confirmed cases of swine flu in Texas. A disaster declaration was announced by Gov. Rick Perry on Wednesday.

Considering Texas’ plight, that makes our annual spring rainy season a bit more bearable.
