| 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 | ||
