A concurrent RESOLUTION

 

TO CELEBRATE THE SOUTH AIKEN HIGH SCHOOL BOYS SWIM TEAM ON WINNING THE 2024 CLASS AAAA STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AND TO CONGRATULATE THE SWIMMERS AND THEIR COACHES ON A SUPERLATIVE SEASON.

 

Whereas, as a perfect finish to an unbeaten regular season, the South Aiken High School boys swim team shot past all other comers at their state championship meet, held at the University of South Carolina Natatorium on October 17, 2024; and

 

Whereas, the Thoroughbreds were the area's top local team of the fall season, with a group of eleven under Head Coach Susie Adams combining to bring home the hardware; and

 

Whereas, at the title meet, South Aiken peppered the scoring sheet, bringing in points in every race to accumulate 404 in total, with nearest competitor Daniel High School finishing second at 373.5; and

 

Whereas, while the team garnered some big points, it was the strong scoring across all strokes that powered the T-Breds to the title. The top twenty competitors in each event scored points, and South Aiken averaged more than twenty-four points per swimmer. The T-Breds bested their entry times in a remarkable eighteen of twenty individual events and scored points in all but one of their swims; and

 

Whereas, exuberant South Aiken fans felt even greater satisfaction at this championship win when they considered that the T-Breds will have the majority of their swimmers returning next fall to defend their title; and

 

Whereas, appreciative of the deservedly high reputation of the South Aiken High boys swim team and coaches, the General Assembly is delighted to add a full meed of praise to the voices of the many admirers of these fine athletes on the occasion of the acquisition of their newest state title. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

 

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, celebrate the South Aiken High School boys swim team on winning the 2024 Class AAAA State Championship and congratulate the swimmers and their coaches on a superlative season.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Principal Samuel Fuller and Head Coach Susie Adams of South Aiken High School.
