H.R. No. 768

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Demonstrating maturity and composure in the face of
an emergency, six members of the cross-country team of Coronado
High School in El Paso helped to assist a local resident in
distress; and
WHEREAS, On the morning of August 20, 2012, Chris Hernandez,
Aryana Martinez, Karime Martinez, Rachel Schlinke, Tatiana
Tarabulski, and Shanahan Vigil participated in a training run near
their school; along the way, they heard faint cries for help from a
house, and when Mr. Hernandez investigated, he discovered that
resident Debra Whitcomb had fallen and broken her hip; and
WHEREAS, Quickly taking action, the team began knocking on
the doors of neighboring homes to find help; after 9-1-1 had been
called, the students worked to keep Ms. Whitcomb comfortable until
paramedics arrived to transport her to the hospital; and
WHEREAS, The compassion and sound judgment these students
demonstrated under pressure proved essential in helping a woman in
dire need, and their actions are indeed deserving of special
recognition; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas
Legislature hereby honor the members of the Coronado High School
cross-country team who came to the aid of an injured member of their
community and extend to them sincere best wishes for the future;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the students as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
