WHEREAS, Taylor Nunez of Randolph High School in Universal |
|
|
City achieved great distinction by winning four gold medals at the |
|
|
2023 University Interscholastic League Track & Field State Meet; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Joining the other top high school competitors in |
|
|
Texas at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin on May 11, Ms. Nunez |
|
|
captured three of her gold medals in individual events; she set |
|
|
Class 3A state meet records in the long jump by soaring 20 feet, 2.5 |
|
|
inches, as well as in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.44 |
|
|
seconds, breaking the meet mark she set at last year's competition; |
|
|
moreover, she won the 200 meters with a blistering time of 23.42 |
|
|
seconds, which would have resulted in another record had it not been |
|
|
ruled to be aided by the wind; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In the 400-meter relay, Ms. Nunez ran the anchor leg |
|
|
for the Randolph squad, and she and teammates Jaela Smith, Cai |
|
|
Rogers, and Jourdann Cathro collected the state crown with a total |
|
|
time of 47.27 seconds; the victory was part of dominant showing by |
|
|
the Ro-Hawk athletes, who clinched the 3A team championship by a |
|
|
wide margin; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Nunez is continuing a family tradition with her |
|
|
success in track and field; her mother, Tameka Nunez, was a |
|
|
seven-time All-American while competing for The University of Texas |
|
|
at San Antonio under her maiden name, Tameka Roberts; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, By excelling in the state's premier showcase for |
|
|
high school track and field athletes, Taylor Nunez has ably |
|
|
represented her school and community, and she will cherish her |
|
|
memories of this outstanding accomplishment for years to come; now, |
|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Taylor Nunez on winning four gold |
|
|
medals at the 2023 UIL Track & Field State Meet and extend to her |
|
|
sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Nunez as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
