R E S O L U T I O N
1-1 WHEREAS, Eric Eshbach of Orangefield High School recently set
1-2 a national high school pole vault record, and this outstanding
1-3 athletic achievement is truly worthy of special recognition; and
1-4 WHEREAS, At the UIL District 23-3A track and field
1-5 competition held in Orangefield, Mr. Eshbach astoundingly cleared
1-6 the height of 17 feet 9-3/4 inches to best the previous national
1-7 high school federation pole vault record set in 1981 by one-quarter
1-8 of an inch; and
1-9 WHEREAS, In addition to setting the national mark he also
1-10 surpassed the Texas record of 17 feet 6 inches set in 1990; all of
1-11 these track and field heroics not only thrust Mr. Eshbach into the
1-12 upper echelon of national record holders, but also placed him in
1-13 the elite company of Orangefield's many previous world-class pole
1-14 vaulters; and
1-15 WHEREAS, Eric Eshbach has distinguished himself as a truly
1-16 talented athlete and a pole vaulter of supreme ability, and as he
1-17 takes pride in his most recent record-setting performance it is
1-18 indeed fitting to pay tribute to him for his significant
1-19 accomplishment; now, therefore, be it
1-20 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 76th Texas
1-21 Legislature hereby honor Eric Eshbach for setting a national high
1-22 school pole vault record and extend to him sincere best wishes for
1-23 continued success and happiness; and, be it further
1-24 RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
2-1 prepared for Mr. Eshbach as an expression of high regard by the
2-2 Texas House of Representatives.
