WHEREAS, Adela Garcia of Austin won her seventh Ms. Fitness |
|
|
Olympia competition in September 2012, continuing her |
|
|
record-setting dominance in that prestigious bodybuilding contest; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in Puerto |
|
|
Rico, Ms. Garcia entered her first fitness competition in 1995; |
|
|
since then, she has become one of the most prominent female athletes |
|
|
in the sport, claiming 15 victories, including five Fitness |
|
|
International titles; she was especially impressive in 2006, when |
|
|
she won the "grand slam" of fitness by taking first place in the |
|
|
Show of Strength as well as the Ms. Fitness Olympia and Fitness |
|
|
International events; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In addition to her work on the competitive stage, |
|
|
Ms. Garcia operates O.F.F. (Overcome Fitness Fears) Challenge, |
|
|
which provides fitness and health training and has mentored a |
|
|
number of aspiring fitness athletes; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Capturing the Ms. Fitness Olympia title is an |
|
|
exceptional achievement that many strive to attain but few |
|
|
accomplish, and Ms. Garcia's seventh victory in that event has |
|
|
furthered her reputation as one of the sport's most impressive |
|
|
performers; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Adela Garcia on winning the 2012 |
|
|
Ms. Fitness Olympia competition and extend to her sincere best |
|
|
wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Garcia as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
