TO RECOGNIZE AND COMMEND THE LANDRUM HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM FOR A SUCCESSFUL SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THE TEAM AND COACHES FOR CAPTURING THE 2012 CLASS AA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.

Whereas, the Landrum High School girls cross country team experienced abanner year, much to the delight of their fans and the disappointment of their rivals; and

Whereas, having taken home their firstgirls cross country title trophy in 2009, the Lady Cardinalsentered the 2012 statemeet with this goal in mind: to put aside the memory of the past two years with no title win and to make up for it this year. They made up for it, indeed, and did it with style; and

Whereas, competing in Columbia on Saturday, November 3, 2012, the Lady Cardinals won the Class AA State Championshipin a tiebreaker with Waccamaw High School when Landrum’s #6 runner finished ahead of Waccamaw’s #6 runner; and

Whereas, such an effortwas an inspiring testimony to the power of being a team player and of giving one’s all for the team, no matterfrom what position; and

Whereas, after the 2012 crown was secure, exultant Landrum fans began making plans to return next year to see the Lady Cardinals repeat the victory; and

Whereas, to celebrate the win, on November 15, 2012, Landrum High School continued a long tradition of honoring state championships with a downtown parade mounted on the City of Landrum’s fire trucks; and

Whereas, in a sport that demands endurance, speed, and mental focus, Coach Jeremy Darby forged a championship team through successfully imparting his own athletic skills and experience; and

Whereas, for the second time, the Landrum High School girls cross country team has succeeded in bringing home a state title and in so doing has brought great pride to its school and community. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and commend the Landrum High School girls cross country team for a successful season and congratulate the team and coaches for capturing the 2012 Class AA State Championship.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Brian Sherman and Coach Jeremy Darby of Landrum High School.
