A house RESOLUTION

TO CELEBRATE THE WHITE KNOLL HIGH SCHOOL ARCHERY TEAM, COACHES, AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS FOR A SUPERB SEASON AND FOR WINNING THE 2022-2023 SOUTH CAROLINA NATIONAL ARCHERY IN THE SCHOOLS PROGRAM (NASP) STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR BOTH THE BULLSEYE AND INTERNATIONAL BOWHUNTING ORGANIZATION (IBO) COMPETITIONS.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the members of the White Knoll High School archery team captured the state title in both Bullseye and IBO at the 2022-2023 South Carolina NASP State Championships, held in Sumter on March 29, 2023; and

Whereas, rightly proud of his athletes, Head Coach Todd Fulmer saw the fruits of his labors as the title trophies were hoisted; and

Whereas, the Timberwolves grabbed first place in IBO with a team score of 1,699, the highest score all season for any age group, and in Bullseye, their specialty, they nailed first place with a team score of 3,440. In earning the Bullseye crown, the team shot the highest team score in its twelve-year history; and

Whereas, overall, it was quite a year for White Knoll. The team took home twelve wins for the 2022-2023 season and shot its third consecutive undefeated season. Team member Karson Rosendahl was named the 2022-2023 South Carolina NASP IBO Individual State Champion, and three archers took home a combined total of $10,500 in scholarship money from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources and NASP sponsors. Finally, since 2019, the White Knoll archers have won four Bullseye State Championships and two IBO State Championships; and

Whereas, presently, the team is preparing to make more history in Louisville, Kentucky, at the Eastern Nationals, the biggest archery tournament in the world. White Knoll enters the event, which is to be held May 12-13, 2023, as the fourth-ranked high school team in the United States; and

Whereas, with admiration, the House applauds the outstanding accomplishments of the White Knoll High School archers, and the members have confidence that these young people will continue to excel in the years ahead. Go, Timberwolves! Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, celebrate the White Knoll High School archery team, coaches, and school officials for a superb season and for winning the 2022-2023 South Carolina National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) State Championships for both the Bullseye and International Bowhunting Organization (IBO) competitions.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Nicholas Pearson and Head Coach Todd Fulmer of White Knoll High School.
