WHEREAS, Dario Jackson, a senior at McKinney High School, has |
|
distinguished himself as a member of the Lions track and field team; |
|
and |
|
WHEREAS, With an exceptional performance at the team's 4A |
|
regional meet, Mr. Jackson won the 200-meter race with a time of |
|
21.34 seconds; in so doing, he has earned a place at the University |
|
Interscholastic League 2009 Track and Field State Championships, |
|
where he will vie for the state title in the event; and |
|
WHEREAS, Emerging as a notable athlete in the past two |
|
seasons, Mr. Jackson broke the 38-year-old McKinney school record |

mark in that race in 2009; moreover, he narrowly missed out on |
|
qualifying for the state meet last season, when he finished third in |
|
the regional competition; and |
|
WHEREAS, Through his hard work and his determination to reach |
|
the peak of his abilities, Dario Jackson has furthered McKinney |
|
High School's reputation for sports excellence, and he may take |
|
justifiable pride in his accomplishments on the track; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Dario Jackson for his exceptional |
|
performance as a member of the McKinney High School track and field |
|
team and extend to him sincere best wishes for continued success; |
|
and, be it further |
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
prepared for Mr. Jackson as an expression of high regard by the |
