UIL State Meets/Tournaments

There is a place where sport is not about multimillion-dollar contracts, drugs, or court trials, but about the joy and heartbreak of competition and athletic grace. That place is Austin in the spring – in March, the state basketball tournaments come to town, followed by track and field, golf, and tennis, and in June, by baseball and softball (and the cross-country title is contested up in Round Rock every fall). A few of the participants will one day be superstars; most won't, but still shed the blood, sweat, and tears of champions.
