	SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 677
	WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
	recognize the Texas A&M University equestrian team, which has won
	the 2017 National Collegiate Equestrian Association national
	championship; and

	WHEREAS, The fifth-seeded Aggies won their 12th national
	title, and first since 2012, by defeating Texas Christian
	University by a score of 16-0 in the semifinal round and the
	University of Georgia by a score of 11-5 in the final; and

	WHEREAS, The Aggies began the semifinals with 4-0 shutouts
	by the reining and equitation over fences teams, and the
	horsemanship and equitation on the flat squads finished the
	sweep; the University of Georgia provided a stiffer test, but the
	Aggies took an early 3-1 lead on the flat, led 6-2 after
	horsemanship, clinched the title by winning three matches in the
	reining event, and added victories over fences to complete the
	meet; and

	WHEREAS, Under the exceptional leadership of head coach
	Tana McKay, the Aggies have developed exceptional teamwork and
	discipline; and

	WHEREAS, Texans in College Station and across the state are
	proud of the Texas A&M University team members for their hard
	work and their impressive skills; now, therefore, be it

	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th
	Legislature, hereby extend congratulations to the Texas A&M
	University equestrian team on winning the 2017 National
	Collegiate Equestrian Association national championship; 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.

	Schwertner
