R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Michelle Carter of Red Oak High School has etched 
her name into the Texas high school and national high school record 
books, setting records in the Class 4A discus and shot put at the 
2003 UIL state track and field meet; and
	WHEREAS, An eight-time high school state champion, Miss 
Carter broke her own national outdoor record in the shot put and 
bettered her 2002 state-meet record in the discus by eight inches, 
despite throwing into a strong headwind; and
	WHEREAS, This remarkable student athlete has captured the 
state titles in discus and shot put in each of her four years in high 
school; her impressive achievement marks just the fourth time that 
a high school girl has won two events in each year of state 
competition; and
	WHEREAS, The daughter of Olympic silver medalist and former 
Texas high school track and field star Michael Carter, Michelle has 
a bright and promising future ahead of her, and it is  a pleasure to 
honor her for her athletic success;  now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby pay tribute to Michelle Carter for excellence in 
track and field and extend to her best wishes for continued success 
in her academic and athletic pursuits; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for Miss Carter as an expression of high regard by the 
Texas House of Representatives.
