LIBERTY — Liberty High School hosted the annual Pickens County Track and Field Championships on Thursday, with winners coming from 
all four of Pickens County’s high schools.
However, the big winner on the day was the Daniel High School track program, which won both the girls’ and boys’ meets.
The Lions were well ahead of the competition, taking both by more than 20 points, with the boys scoring 121.5 points and the girls scoring 110.83.
Two of the biggest reasons for Daniel’s big day were the performances of TraVon Lay and Jeffery Davis. The two were named co-MVPs of the meet for their contributions on the day.
Lay, a record holder at the county meet in both the 100- and 400-meter hurdles, took first in both events on Thursday, while also taking first as a member of the 4×400-meter team alongside Ally Wilson, Graycen Sanders

Supper salads lighten evening meals

Have you grown tired of the same old same old? Have you run out of fresh ideas for what to feed them? You’re not the only one.
This week, I thought it would be nice to change pace and get out of the rut of chicken, beef, pork or seafood. And we can’t have soup and grilled cheese sandwiches too often. So, it’s going to be a salad week.
I first came across watermelon salad a couple of years ago and found out it’s delicious. Almost everybody likes pasta salad, and here’s one with a non-traditional dressing.
I like the flavor profiles of the pear with candied nut salad, as well as the easy Greek salad.
Feel free to add meat to the Greek and pasta salads. They’re good either way.
