H.R. No. 2130 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Senior Jacob Rodriguez capped off an outstanding | ||
record of athletic achievement at Tuloso-Midway High School in | ||
Corpus Christi with a first-place finish at the 2017 Texas High | ||
School Powerlifting Association State Meet, held on March 25 in | ||
Abilene; and | ||
WHEREAS, In an exceptional show of strength and | ||
determination, Mr. Rodriguez tallied 1,860 pounds to claim the | ||
Division 1 title in the 275-pound weight class; his total included | ||
lifts of 430 pounds in the bench press, 610 pounds in the dead lift, | ||
and a record-breaking 820 pounds in the squat, in which he outlifted | ||
his nearest rival by 95 pounds; and | ||
WHEREAS, Mr. Rodriguez's impressive showing at the state | ||
contest was the latest in a series of triumphs throughout his high | ||
school career; after narrowly missing qualifying for the regional | ||
powerlifting meet as a freshman, he returned as a sophomore to | ||
advance all the way to state, and over the past two years, he has | ||
added a number of invitational meet victories, as well as | ||
back-to-back regional championships, to his list of | ||
accomplishments; and | ||
WHEREAS, This talented student-athlete has also | ||
distinguished himself on the gridiron, where he showed versatility | ||
as both an offensive and a defensive lineman, and he further proved | ||
himself a leader on the Warrior football team by serving as a | ||
captain during his junior and senior years; he was twice named an | ||
All-District Second Team guard, and he received All-District First | ||
Team honors for the 2016-2017 season; and | ||
WHEREAS, Through his skill, determination, and commitment to | ||
excellence, Jacob Rodriguez has become a source of great pride to | ||
his school and to his many supporters in the local community, and he | ||
may indeed look forward to a future bright with promise; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Jacob Rodriguez on his many | ||
athletic achievements and extend to him sincere best wishes for the | ||
future; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Mr. Rodriguez as an expression of high regard by the | ||
Texas House of Representatives. | ||
