Students to compete in UIL practice

By Kathy Thomson

Sixteen Albany students are registered for an academic invitational practice meet at Stamford this Saturday, Feb. 22, but according to UIL coordinator Rick Davis, the actual number who can go and compete may be a few less.

“We have 16 kids going to Stamford with 46 individual contest entries,” said Davis. “I am afraid some of those kids will have a conflict with softball that they did not realize when they signed up.”

Representing Albany at the UIL practice meet in Stamford this Saturday are Addison Asher, Max Balliew, Sarah Cotter, Carli Edgar, Ty Everitt, Morgan Garcia, Elia Hebel, and Clara Holson.

Also headed to the meet for Albany are Luke Ivy, Gregori Mikeska, Jaleigh Morales, Paige Picquet, Taylor Scott, Tana Thompson, Hannah Trail, and Ella Webb.

Upcoming Events

Practice meets help students prepare for district competition.

Albany competes in District 8-2A with Cross Plains, Haskell, Hawley, Roscoe, and Stamford.

The district meet is scheduled for Monday, March 23 in Stamford.  

The regional UIL academic meet is in Odessa on April 18, and the state meet will be in Austin April 30 through May 2.
