| tradition of success with an outstanding 2018 season; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Tejanos and Tejanas closed out the year with | ||
| exceptional showings in two high-profile events; at the National | ||
| Junior College Athletic Association Cross Country Championships | ||
| held in Garden City, Kansas, on November 10, both teams tallied | ||

| again matched up against competitors from across the country in the | ||

| squads recorded first-place finishes, with the Tejanas claiming | ||
| their fifth national title and the Tejanos capturing the team's | ||
| first championship crown in program history; moreover, Elias | ||
| Loriposia took home the men's individual title; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In addition to their exemplary performances in | ||
| competition, the EPCC runners have also maintained a commitment to | ||
| excellence in the classroom, boasting team grade point averages of | ||
| higher than 3.24; and | ||
| WHEREAS, With their accomplishments on the national stage, | ||
| the EPCC cross country & half marathon athletes have become a source | ||
| of great pride to their school, and all those associated with the | ||
| teams are indeed deserving of special recognition; now, therefore, | ||
| be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the El Paso Community College | ||
| Tejano and Tejana cross country & half marathon teams on an | ||
| outstanding 2018 season and extend to the runners, coaches, and | ||
| staff sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
