H.R. No. 910 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Destiny Miles, a junior at Kimball High School in | ||
Dallas, reached the pinnacle of success when she won the state title | ||
in the 5A 148-pound weight division at the 2019 University | ||
Interscholastic League Wrestling State Tournament, held in Cypress | ||
on February 22 and 23; and | ||
WHEREAS, Following an appearance in the 2018 state tournament | ||
as a sophomore, Ms. Miles recommitted herself to her training in | ||
the off-season in anticipation of a title run in 2019; | ||
demonstrating remarkable skill and determination, she lost just one | ||
match during her entire junior season despite being hampered by | ||
injuries; after qualifying for a return trip to state, she opened | ||
the tournament by besting opponents from Cedar Park, Amarillo River | ||
Road, and Amarillo Caprock High Schools to advance to the finals; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, The title contest turned out to be a rematch against | ||
Grapevine High School's Karestin Andrews, who had defeated | ||
Ms. Miles in the regional championship; in a battle that was | ||
decided in just under three minutes, Ms. Miles pinned her opponent | ||
and claimed the 5A title; in so doing, she became only the third | ||
wrestler from the Dallas Independent School District to be crowned | ||
as a girls' state champion; and | ||
WHEREAS, In proving herself one of the finest high school | ||
wrestlers in Texas, Destiny Miles has realized a well-deserved | ||
reward for her countless hours of hard work, and she has become a | ||
source of tremendous pride to her school and community; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Destiny Miles on winning the 2019 | ||
UIL wrestling state championship in the girls' 5A 148-pound | ||
division and extend to her sincere best wishes for continued | ||
success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for Ms. Miles as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
House of Representatives. | ||
Davis of Dallas | ||
