H.R. No. 1950 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The members of the Panhandle High School girls' | ||
track team achieved great distinction with their exceptional | ||
performance at the 2022 University Interscholastic League Track & | ||
Field State Meet; and | ||
WHEREAS, Joining the other top high school qualifiers at Mike | ||
A. Myers Stadium in Austin, the defending state champion | ||
Pantherettes racked up 58 points, clinching the silver medal in the | ||
2A team competition and finishing just two points shy of first | ||
place; and | ||
WHEREAS, Panhandle was led by Mackie Land, who closed out her | ||
high school career with three more gold medals at state; her | ||
blistering times of 23.75 seconds in the 200 meters and 54.21 | ||
seconds in the 400 meters left both fields far behind, and she | ||
joined Avery Sides, Sydney Adee, and Leah Land on the winning | ||
1,600-meter relay team that crossed the finish line in 3 minutes, | ||
55.79 seconds, breaking its own 2A state record; moreover, the | ||
800-meter relay quartet of Grace Sims, Ms. L. Land, Ms. Adee, and | ||
Ms. Sides posted a silver-medal finish with a time of 1 minute, | ||
46.09 seconds; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Pantherettes also received points from the | ||
sixth-place finish by the 400-meter relay team of Ms. L. Land, | ||
Ms. Adee, Ms. Sims, and Ms. Sides; serving as state meet alternates | ||
for Panhandle were Hayley Sims, Cadence Bonner, and Makennah | ||
Austin; and | ||
WHEREAS, These determined young Texans have excelled through | ||
skill, hard work, and an enduring commitment to excellence, and | ||
they are a source of tremendous pride to their classmates and their | ||
many supporters in the local community; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate the Panhandle High School girls' | ||
track team on winning the silver medal in the 2A team competition at | ||
the 2022 UIL Track & Field State Meet and extend to the athletes, | ||
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 Pantherettes as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
