  WHEREAS,  Individual  and team championships are highly sought after
in high school sports; this  Legislative  Body  commends  rare  athletic
achievements  and  pays  special  recognition  to  those who pursue such
excellence and become examples for the youth of this great Empire State;
and

  WHEREAS, Athletic competition helps to enhance both  the  moral  and

instilling in them the importance of teamwork, encouraging a standard of
healthy living, and developing a sense of fair play and competition; and

  WHEREAS,  This  Legislative  Body  is justly proud to Madison Tuttle
upon the occasion of capturing the 2024 Adidas  Indoor  Nationals  Track
and  Field  Championship  in the 1-mile racewalk on March 15 through 17,
2024, at the Virginia Beach Sports Center in Virginia  Beach,  Virginia;
and

  WHEREAS,  To  the  praise  and applause of her excited fans, Madison

secured  All-American  status  for the second time, following her recent
accolade at the New Balance Nationals in Boston, Massachusetts; and

  WHEREAS, Madison Tuttle finished the racewalk with a remarkable time
of 8:09.62 and outpaced  the  second-place  finisher  by  a  significant
margin; and

Tuttle earned recognition as a Co-MVP for winter sports in  Schuyler  by
The Odessa File; and

  WHEREAS,  In  the  Spring of 2022, Madison Tuttle experienced an ACL
injury, sparking her interest in racewalking; she had great  success  in
that  season,  placing  first  in a number of invitationals and breaking
school records; and

  WHEREAS, Coming into this year's season  highly  motivated,  Madison
Tuttle  won the Section IV Championships, reset the school record again,
placed 8th in the New  Balance  Invitational  in  the  1-mile  racewalk,
before winning the title in the Adidas Nationals; and

in great part to the efforts of Coach Kelly Sterner and AD  Rod  Weeden,
skilled and inspirational tutors, respected for their ability to develop
potential into excellence; and

  WHEREAS,  Madison  Tuttle's overall record is outstanding; they were
loyally and enthusiastically supported by their  family,  fans,  friends
and the community at large; and

  WHEREAS,  Coach  Kelly  Sterner  has  done  a superb job in guiding,
molding and inspiring this young woman towards her goals; and

and accomplishment, and Madison Tuttle has clearly made  a  contribution
to  the  spirit  of  excellence which is a tradition of her school; now,
therefore, be it
