Whereas, exhibiting excellent form and spirit, team members encouraged each other to perform their best to achieve individual awards and to secure victory for the school; and

Whereas, the Spartanburg High School girls took home the county and region championships before advancing to the final state meet; and

Whereas, the 400 meter relay team of Arnetra Frazier, Jasmine Grayson, Tysha Smith, and Patria Norman brought great pride to their families and school by placing first in their event. The 1600 meter relay team of Santresa Jamison, Danesha Edwards, Tysha Smith, and Jasmine Grayson also captured top honors; and

Whereas, other members of the incredible championship team included Sade Gray, Logan Peake, Kaela MacPhail, Erica Peake, Sequoya Casey, Chelsea Hicks, Roceana Jackson, Porshla Reid, and Natasha Woodruff; and

Whereas, the championship win could not have been possible without the tireless work of assistant coaches Tyrone Johnson, Robert Hipp, Doug Wynn, Jim Wood, and Rob Wilder; and

Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives take great pride in commending the young women of the Spartanburg High School Girls Track Team for their tireless efforts and great determination in an incredible season and recognize them as veritable model student athletes. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
