From state championship events, to meetings, to keeping up with business as usual, it has been a busy time of year around the UIL office. Since the weekend of the Swimming & Diving State Meet on March 18 and 19, there has been a UIL State event every weekend.

Swimming & Diving was followed up by the Wrestling State Tournament, the Girls Basketball State Tournament, the Boys Basketball State Tournament, and this week was kicked off with the CX Debate State Tournament. These state events are part of what the UIL is all about. These experiences help mold student participants into the leaders and citizens they will become. Congratulations to all UIL State Championship participants and champions! To see a full list of state championship results, please visit the UIL website at www.uiltexas.org.

In other news, the UIL Finance Committee, a standing committee of the UIL Legislative Council, met on March 9 in Austin to discuss the UIL budget. As a result of that meeting, UIL membership fees and ticket prices for 2011-12 will not increase, based on the recommendation of UIL Executive Director Dr. Charles Breithaupt.
