||
WHEREAS, In an outstanding demonstration of strength and | ||
skill, the powerlifting team of H. M. King High School in | ||
Kingsville claimed the 2013 Texas High School Powerlifting | ||
Association Division 2 state championship on March 23 in Abilene; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, The victory gave King High School its first team | ||
state title in any sport, and it followed close on the heels of the | ||
squad's regional championship triumph, which was another first for | ||
the Brahmas; and | ||
WHEREAS, Pacing the team at the state meet were Nick Trevino | ||
and Michael Rodriguez, both of whom earned individual state titles; | ||
Mr. Trevino won the 220-pound weight class by hefting a total of | ||
1,580 pounds in the three lift categories; Mr. Rodriguez set two | ||
new state records with an 805-pound squat lift and a total weight of | ||

WHEREAS, Richie Salinas added to the team point total by | ||
finishing third in the 275-pound weight class, while Luis Lopez | ||
placed eighth in the super heavyweight division; and | ||
WHEREAS, The success realized by the Brahmas stemmed from | ||
their commitment and teamwork; the athletes pushed one another to | ||
reach their full potential and fully devoted themselves to their | ||
training, even continuing their regimen during school vacations; | ||
their efforts were guided by powerlifting coach Chad Barrett, who | ||
was honored with the THSPA Coach of the Year award; and | ||
WHEREAS, Winning a state championship is the dream of every | ||
high school athlete, and this achievement will be a continuing | ||
source of pride for the Brahma powerlifters as well as for their | ||
many supporters in the local community; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the H. M. King High School | ||
