| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| recognize the Texas Christian University rifle team, which won | ||
| the 2010 National Collegiate Athletic Association national title | ||
| with a victory in the championship competition held March 12 and | ||
| 13 in Fort Worth; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Competing against the best schools in the | ||
| country, including perennial favorites West Virginia University | ||
| and the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the Horned Frogs emerged | ||
| triumphant after a particularly impressive showing on the second | ||
| day of the event; furthermore, Texas Christian University became | ||
| the first all-female squad to take the national title in the | ||
| coeducational sport of shooting; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Sarah Scherer won the individual smallbore title | ||
| while Erin Lorenzen finished third in the individual air rifle | ||
| competition and was named Most Outstanding Athlete in the | ||
| championships by the Collegiate Rifle Coaches Association; all | ||
| five Texas Christian University shooters, including Simone | ||
| Riford, Sarah Beard, and Caitlin Morrissey, earned all-American | ||
| honors in 2010, and Erin Lorenzen and Simone Riford were so named | ||
| in all four of their collegiate seasons; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The Horned Frog competitors received an | ||
| additional honor in September of 2010 when the team members and | ||
| head coach Karen Monez were invited to the White House for a | ||
| gathering of National Collegiate Athletic Association champions, | ||
| where President Barack Obama singled them out for their shooting | ||
| skill; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through hard work and an enduring commitment to | ||
| excellence, the Texas Christian University rifle team has | ||
| finished in the top five in the national tournament in each of the | ||
| past four seasons, attaining the pinnacle of success with the | ||
| 2010 National Collegiate Athletic Association title, and these | ||
| exceptional athletes and their coach may take justifiable pride | ||
| in their achievements; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
| Legislature, hereby congratulate the Texas Christian University | ||
| rifle team on winning the 2010 National Collegiate Athletic | ||
| Association championship and commend its members for their | ||
| outstanding work throughout the season; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the team as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
