Whereas, several of the team members, namely, Abby Jazzar, Michael Phillips, Lori Ware, and Adrian Wieland, were cited for their particularly outstanding work in the roles they played; and

Whereas, the team's adviser from Middleton High School is Ms. Carol Onorato, and the team's attorney-coach is Mr. Matt Henrikson, an associate with the Charleston law firm of Barnwell, Whaley, Patterson, and Helms; and
