Oh my, an actual report on track and field. This is a first. If only the semoball.com website had current information. As someone who tries to follow this sport from afar I've more or less memorized the articles from last year that make up the whole of this section.

Some advice, either update the section or take it down all together.

Brian Rosener's response:
This track season has been tough to cover with all the rain. I think I've been scheduled to attend three or four meets now that have been rained out. Hopefully, they'll be able to run this Monday and the district meet Saturday, which is in Poplar Bluff.
In the print edition of the DAR we've kept up with the Mules (and some Malden and Dexter meets) with the help of our coaches. You can get the DAR online at darnews.com. If you're looking for other teams, may I suggest the website http://mo.milesplit.us/ that keeps up with all of the state's track news.
Since you seem to be keeping up with this site, perhaps you read in mid-March that the semoball editor had taken another job. Since I'm the editor of the Poplar Bluff newspaper, I cannot say what the future plans are for this site, but I'll keep updating my blog with any breaking news and as a forum for the readers.
