|
|
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 |

WHEREAS, Emerging as a notable athlete in the past two |
|

seasons, Mr. Jackson broke the 38-year-old McKinney school record |

for the fastest time in the 200 meters in 2008 and then set a new |
|
|
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 |
|
|

|
|
therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 81st Texas |
|

RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Mr. Jackson as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
