| WHEREAS, Trinity University athletes capped a stellar | ||
| season filled with memorable performances by winning the 2015 | ||
| Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Presidents' Trophy; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Since the conference's inaugural year in | ||
| 1962-1963, the coveted Presidents' Trophy, a 300-pound railroad | ||
| bell, has been presented for a year-long display to the | ||
| conference school whose combined men's and women's athletics | ||
| program has accumulated the highest points total in the | ||
| all-sports race by the end of the academic year; and | ||
| WHEREAS, During the 2014-2015 season, Trinity University | ||
| clinched 10 of 18 championships in conference-sponsored events, | ||
| including men's and women's soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, | ||
| and track and field, as well as volleyball and baseball; that | ||
| remarkable feat represents only the eighth time in league history | ||
| that a school has won 10 or more titles in a single year, with | ||
| Trinity University accomplishing that feat on seven of those | ||
| eight occasions; closing this season with a total score of 535 | ||
| points, the university attained the singular distinction of | ||
| earning its fourth consecutive and 15th overall Presidents' | ||
| Trophy; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This year's crop of Trinity University Tigers has | ||
| greatly advanced the school's record for athletic excellence, | ||
| and their achievements will be a source of tremendous pride to | ||
| the institution's students, faculty, alumni, and supporters for | ||
| years to come; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
| Legislature, hereby congratulate Trinity University on its | ||
| receipt of the 2015 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference | ||
| Presidents' Trophy and extend to the school's athletes and coaches | ||
| sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this Resolution be | ||
| prepared for Trinity University as an expression of high regard | ||
| from the Texas Senate. | ||
