WHEREAS, Devin Faber of Canton High School claimed the 2011 | ||

year; and | ||
WHEREAS, Competing at the Track & Field State Meet in Austin | ||

inches; this was his third trip to the state championships overall, | ||
having won the silver medal as a sophomore; and | ||

following his graduation, Mr. Faber plans to continue pole vaulting | ||
at the collegiate level at Lon Morris College; and | ||

Lone Star State for the second year in a row, this talented | ||
student-athlete has realized a well-deserved reward for his | ||
countless hours of hard work and enduring commitment to excellence; | ||
now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Devin Faber on winning the 2011 UIL | ||

wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
