|
|
from Watson Junior High School in Muleshoe delivered an exceptional |

|
|
WHEREAS, Finishing in 3 minutes, 48.99 seconds, the team of |

|
|
by a team that included Mr. Villa's uncle; the relay victory was |
|

|
|
events, Beto Diaz won the 100-meter dash and took second in the long |
|
|
jump and third in the high jump, and Javy Perez captured silver |
|
|
medals in the 300-meter hurdles and the high jump; Tre Villa earned |
|
|
a gold medal in the high jump and a silver in the 200-meter run, |
|
|
while Timothy Perez placed first in the 800-meter run and the pole |
|
|
vault; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, By claiming the gold medal and setting a school |
|
|
record in the 4 x 400 relay, these young men have distinguished |
|
|
themselves as competitors of admirable skill and dedication, and |
|
|
they may take justifiable pride in a job well done; now, therefore, |
|
|
be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
