It was a busy afternoon at 2014 Texas Boys State.
Rain posed a threat to the initial Olympiad competition but ultimately cleared out in time for statesmen to participate in football, basketball, and dodgeball. This was the initial competition but all is not lost for the cities that did not won today.
On the political front, the Boys State Legislature was elected, allowing them to get to work much earlier in the week than in sessions past. The Federalist and Nationalist parties sorted out their rules and platforms. Later in the evening, the parties gathered to elect chairmen who will lead their party's conventions as they nominate candidates for statewide elections.
The Monday evening activities included visits from Austin-area dignitaries, including Railroad Commissioner Christi Craddick and former attorney general candidate Eric Opiela. The evening speaker at the LBJ Auditorium was Texas Education Commissioner Michael Williams.
