Pickens County meet postponed
The Pickens County Championships at Clemson University's Rock Norman Track was postponed today due to inclement weather, meet director and Liberty coach Daniel Graybeal said in an e-mail Saturday.

"The meet has been postponed due to lightning and high chance of continued thunderstorms throughout the day," Graybeal said.

"The JV mile was all we got off before the lightning started. I think the field events got in one or two jumps/throws.

"We're shooting for April 19 for a rain date, if we can get it worked out."
