Whereas, track and field competitions individualize each team member's skills, but to become a championship team, all competitors must have outstanding physical abilities; and

Whereas, the Orangeburg Preparatory School Indians Boys Track and Field Team competed in their most important meet of the season and defeated teams from across the State; and

Whereas, Orangeburg Prep scored a total of one hundred twenty-eight points, with their closest competitor, Wilson Hall, scoring one hundred points, and the team captured the 2003 Class AAA Boys Track and Field State Championship title for the second year in a row; and

Whereas, under the great leadership of Head Coach Don Shelley each member of the boys track and field team was able to reach their full potential; and

Whereas, Will Whetstone led the Indians to victory with a first place finish in the 110-meter hurdles, a third place time in the 400 meter, a second place finish in the 40-meter hurdles, and another first place finish as a member of the 4x400 meter relay team with Tyler Gardner, Thomas Hawkins, and Bert Shuler; and

Whereas, seniors Dusty Dukes, Will Whetstone, Josh Fort, Bert Shuler, Chad Milhouse, and Jeremy Davis led the way to back-to-back state titles; and

Whereas, the members of the Senate wish to congratulate these young champions and wish them much success in their future endeavors. Now, therefore,
