San Antonio Southside's Israel Orihuela along with a pack of tired 5A runners walk, catching their breath, after crossing the finish line covered in mud at the UIL State Championship Saturday. With rain falling all morning, the route at Old Settlers Park was turned into a mud track, some runners slipped and fell, others lost shoes during the meet.
Down here in Central Texas, we have been getting a lot of rain the past few weeks. Along with the rain, came assignments from the San Antonio Express News. These assignments have been keeping me busy and sane, giving me a break from editing other projects and jobs at home.
