TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR THE MEMBERS OF THE J. L. MANN GIRLS TRACK TEAM FOR A REMARKABLE SEASON AND TO CONGRATULATE THEM FOR WINNING THE 2015 CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the J. L. Mann girls track team of Greenville County garnered another trophy at the state competition held at Spring Valley High School in Columbia on Saturday, May 16, 2015; and
Whereas, the J. L. Mann Patriot fans watched with elation, if not surprise, as their track team took top honors for the fourth year in a row at the state track meet; and
Whereas, with a team that carried depth in every event, the Lady Patriots mounted 78 points, not with individual state championships, but with a team effort. Kyra Atkins would take the only first-place finish for J. L. Mann in the 100-meter hurdles; and
Whereas, the Lady Patriots posted several second place results to finish far ahead of their nearest challengers, Wando High School, tallying 63.5 points for a second place finish and St. James High School with 56 points in third place; and
Whereas, in a sport that demands stamina, strength, and versatility, Head Coach George Moss and his skilled coaching staff maximized their own athletic ability and training to hone a team of champions and teach these athletes lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off the track; and
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciates the pride and recognition that the J. L. Mann track team has brought to the school and the community, and the members look to hear of the success of these athletes in the days ahead. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognizes and honors the members of the J. L. Mann girls track team for a remarkable season and congratulate them for winning the 2015 Class AAAA State Championship title.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Charles S. Mayfield and Coach George Moss.
