McKinney's Summer Buzz: Pollen Spike, Sports Wins, and 3D-Printed Safety Initiatives
McKinney woke up to a fresh, breezy Wednesday with plenty to talk about from the last 24 hours. Summer is here in full swing, but clouds cooled things down early, with temperatures peaking at a pleasant 87 degrees yesterday and only light winds rustling through local parks. Rain dodged McKinney, though humidity made it feel a little warmer for anyone out jogging or walking their pups.
If allergies have been bugging you, today isn’t your day for outdoor plans. The pollen count saw another spike, especially from grasses and early summer weeds, so keep that antihistamine close if you’re sensitive. On the bright side, air quality ratings in McKinney remain in the good-to-moderate range, so no worries for your evening stroll or backyard grilling.
Sports fans had plenty to cheer about last night. McKinney Boyd’s baseball squad clinched a tight win in extra innings, holding off Allen High 6-5 after a late double play snuffed out a rally. Meanwhile, McKinney North’s girls soccer team dominated in a pre-season charity scrimmage, notching a 3-0 shutout in front of a spirited crowd. Local student athletes continue to shine even as summer camps get underway.
In community news, McKinney ISD made headlines as students unveiled a new 3D-printed initiative to improve AED access at city rec centers. This project, rolled out Wednesday morning, is a big step for public safety and highlights the district’s commitment to hands-on learning and health awareness.
Events are heating up around town as Independence Day nears. The city’s big Red, White, and BOOM parade is just around the corner, set for a 10 a.m. start on July 4th, and families are already gearing up for the popular Yankee Doodle block party that follows. Juneteenth celebrations continue as well, with music, art, and food trucks still drawing crowds to the downtown square.
One important public health alert: Statewide news confirmed an ongoing measles outbreak across Texas, including the DFW area, so vaccine clinics remain open and residents are encouraged to check immunization records for kids and adults alike.
That wraps up the latest from McKinney, where neighbors stay cool, active, and community-minded through the heart of North Texas summer.
