| championship on February 11 and 12, 2011, in San Antonio; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This triumphant performance continued the Irish | ||
| swim team's longstanding tradition of excellence; it was the | ||
| school's 25th state swimming title, with Cathedral having won a | ||
| state meet each year since 1984 with just three exceptions; | ||
| moreover, the Irish have claimed every TAPPS championship since | ||
| joining the organization in 2001; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The dominance of the 2010-2011 Cathedral High | ||
| swimmers under the guidance of coach Jack White was evidenced by | ||
| their 118-point advantage over their closest competitor in the | ||
| final standings as well as by their first-place finishes in all but | ||
| two events; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Individually, Leo Scott won the 50-yard freestyle | ||
| and the 100-yard butterfly, while Jose De Jesus captured gold in the | ||
| 200-yard individual medley and 100-yard backstroke, and Javi Ochoa | ||
| won the 100-yard breaststroke; the 200-yard freestyle relay team of | ||
| Mr. Scott, Mr. De Jesus, Christian Miller, and Alex Aguirre took | ||
| first place and set a new state record in the process; also | ||
| capturing relay gold were the 200-yard team of Mr. Scott, Mr. De | ||
| Jesus, Mr. Ochoa, and Andres Esquivel, and the 400-yard squad of Mr. | ||
| Miller, Mr. Aguirre, Mr. Ochoa, and Alex Cuaron; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The success attained by the Cathedral swimmers is a | ||
| testament to their hard work and dedication, attributes that will | ||
| continue to serve them well in the years to come; now, therefore, be | ||
| it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby congratulate the Cathedral High School swim team | ||
| on winning the 2010-2011 TAPPS Division 1 state championship and | ||
| extend to the team's 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 team as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
