||
WHEREAS, The boys' and girls' varsity cross-country teams | ||
from MacArthur High School in Houston continued the school's | ||
history of success in the sport by taking first place at the | ||
District 16-6A championship meet on October 11, 2018; and | ||
WHEREAS, The boys' team captured the crown after seven team | ||
members finished among the top 11 runners, earning an impressive | ||
overall score of 19 and besting the second-place squad by 50 points; | ||
Dario Ramirez and Xavier Cerda finished first and second, | ||
respectively, and they were followed by Axel Trujillo and Jonathon | ||
Blanco in fourth and fifth places, Saul Iniguez and Luis Lara in | ||
seventh and eighth places, and David Rivera in eleventh place; and | ||
WHEREAS, Among the girls' competitors, MacArthur again | ||
reigned supreme, edging out the runner-up school by two points; the | ||
Lady Generals were paced by Samantha Hernandez in second place and | ||
Erika Banda in third, while Vanessa Celestino was ninth; in | ||
addition, top-20 performances were achieved by Izabel Banda in 12th | ||
place and Vivian Lugo in 14th, while Nuvia Salazar Tapia was 24th | ||
and Brittney Ramirez was 32nd; and | ||
WHEREAS, The 2018 district crowns were just the latest | ||
accomplishments for MacArthur's cross-country program; the boys' | ||
squad has been district champs for 10 years in a row and qualified | ||
for the state meet in 2014 and 2015; moreover, two Generals runners | ||
earned college scholarships in 2015; and | ||
WHEREAS, With their twin district championships, the | ||
MacArthur High cross-country athletes have become a source of great | ||
pride for their fellow students, 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 MacArthur High School boys' and | ||
girls' cross-country teams for winning the 2018 District 16-6A | ||
championships and extend to the runners, coaches, and staff sincere | ||
best wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the teams as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
