Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the Hillcrest High School girls and boys track teams took home two personal championships and two team championships at the 2015 Class AAAA State Championship meet, held at Spring Valley High School in Columbia on Saturday, May 16, 2015; and

Whereas, overall, the Rams improved their performance at the title meet from seventh place and 31 points in 2014 to fourth place and 53 points in 2015; and then there were those outstanding individual and team titles; and

Whereas, Hillcrest's girls track team, led by seniors Riley Egbula and Imani McGowan, made a strong statement at the meet. Imani repeated as state champion in the 800-meter run with a personal-best time of 2:16.46, and Riley won the 200-meter run with a personal-best time of 24.41; and

Whereas, Hillcrest's girls 400-meter relay team of Riley Egbula, Adia Bennon, Zariere Dumas, and Kaitlin Hames bested the field in 47.60 seconds and Hillcrest's boys 4x100-meter relay team of Brandon Peppers, Brian Spurgeon, Seth Nichols, and Quentin Martin also took first, finishing in 41.80; and

Whereas, Andrique Heyward and Carla Washington, co-head coaches, drew on their own considerable talents and skills to mold their team members into champions and proudly watched Hillcrest's winners accept the top prizes in their several events; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the pride and recognition that the Hillcrest track stars have brought to their school and community and look to hear of their continued accomplishments in the years ahead. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, salute the Hillcrest High School girls and boys track teams for an outstanding season and congratulate them for capturing state titles in the girls 200 and 800-meter runs, girls 400-meter relay, and boys 4x100-meter relay at the 2015 Class AAAA State Championship meet.
