|
Worth; and |
|
WHEREAS, Competing against the best schools in the country, |

|

Ms. Riford were so named in all four of their collegiate seasons; |
|

|
WHEREAS, The Horned Frog competitors received an additional |
|

|
champions, where President Barack Obama singled them out for their |
|
shooting skill; and |
|
WHEREAS, Through hard work and an enduring commitment to |
|
excellence, the Texas Christian University rifle team has finished |
|
in the top five in the national tournament in each of the past four |
|
seasons, attaining the pinnacle of success with the 2010 NCAA |
|
title, and these exceptional athletes and their coach may take |
|
justifiable pride in their achievements; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
Legislature hereby congratulate the Texas Christian University |
|
rifle team on winning the 2010 NCAA national championship and |
|
commend its members for their fine work during a superlative |
|
season; and, be it further |
|
