        CONGRATULATING Madison Tuttle upon the occasion of
        capturing the 2024 Adidas Indoor Nationals Track and
        Field Championship in the 1-mile racewalk

  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
physical development of young athletes, preparing them for the future by
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

  WHEREAS,  Exemplifying  incredible  adaptability  and skill, Madison
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; because of medical  limitations  this  sparked  an  interest  in
racewalking;  she  had  great  success  with the 2022-2023 winter indoor
track season, placing first in a number of  invitationals  and  breaking
school records; and

  WHEREAS,  Coming  into  this year's season highly motivated, Madison
Tuttle broke her own record four times, winning the Section IV "Class C"
Championship and Section IV  State  Qualifier,  then  competing  at  the
NYSPHAA  Championships  where  she  made  the  podium  placing  8th; she
received a Federation Championship medal and reset her record again to a
new time of 7:17.94; and

  WHEREAS, The athletic talent displayed by these young women  is  due
in  great  part to the efforts of Coach Kelly Sterner and AD Rod Weeden,
skilled as 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

  WHEREAS, Sports competition instills the values of  teamwork,  pride
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

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
congratulate Madison Tuttle upon the  occasion  of  capturing  the  2024
Adidas  Indoor  Nationals  Track  and  Field  Championship in the 1-mile
racewalk; and be it further

  RESOLVED, That copies of this  Resolution,  suitably  engrossed,  be
transmitted to Coach, Kelly Sterner; AD, Rod Weeden; and Madison Tuttle.
