From Hurricane Frederic in 1979 to tropical storm fay, which ravaged Florida in late August, Americans affected by disaster have looked to the Federal Emergency Management Agency for aid.

Junior Andrew Flanagan (165), who finished fourth at Midlands last year, had been slated to compete for the first time this season after an eye injury but was pulled from the competition in a last-minute decision. The Crimson returns to dual competition next Saturday at the Lonestar...
