Saturday’s heavy rain around the state caused delays or postponements for several of the UIL regional track and field meets, including in Abilene where Early is competing at the Region I-3A meet, and Denton where Zephyr, Blanket and Brookesmith are in action at the Region III-A meet.

Meets will resume Monday at 1 p.m. at Abilene Christian and at 5 p.m. at the University of North Texas, but Zephyr and Early have already earned a handful of state berths.

Zephyr leads the way currently with three state entrants as Haley Eason finished first in the girls triple jump (34-9) and second in the girls long jump (16-8), while Ronni McClain placed first in the girls pole vault (10-0).

For Early, Jamie Vassar finished second in the girls shot put (40-9.5) and Camden Myers also came in second in the boys high jump (6-4).

The Lady Bulldogs have also amassed 36 points and lead in the team standings at the Region III-A meet
