 1-1           WHEREAS, The impressive achievements of the 2000 boys'
 1-2     cross-country team from Lockhart High School are truly worthy of
 1-3     special praise; and
 1-4           WHEREAS, At the recent UIL State Cross-Country Championships
 1-5     in Round Rock, the Lions outdistanced the rest of the field to
 1-6     garner the overall Class 4A boys' team title, their second state
 1-7     triumph in the last three years; moreover, this season the squad
 1-8     captured its 13th consecutive district title and its sixth regional
 1-9     championship in the past eight years; and
1-10           WHEREAS, Receiving valuable support and guidance from
1-11     athletic director Dan Hurley, head coach Scott Hippensteel, and
1-12     assistant coach Doug Alfier, the Lions had a remarkable season that
1-13     would not have been possible without the immeasurable contributions
1-14     of all their talented team members, including Matt Buehner, Seth
1-15     James, Tom Peters, Jose Moctezuma, Casey Thompson, Joseph Gonzalez,
1-16     and Nathan Cubriel; and
1-17           WHEREAS, This outstanding group of runners upheld the
1-18     school's tradition of excellence in the sport while leaving its own
1-19     indelible mark; the competitive spirit and determination of the
1-20     members of the Lockhart High School boys' cross-country team are
1-21     indeed commendable, and as these athletes take pride in their state
1-22     championship, it is most fitting to pay tribute to them for their
1-23     myriad accomplishments; now, therefore, be it
1-24           RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 77th Texas
 2-1     Legislature hereby honor the members and coaching staff of the 2000
 2-2     Lockhart High School boys' cross-country team on winning the state,
 2-3     regional, and district titles and extend to them best wishes for
 2-4     continued success and happiness; and, be it further
 2-5           RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
 2-6     prepared for the members and coaches of the 2000 Lockhart High
 2-7     School boys' cross-country team as an expression of high regard by
