WHEREAS, Ann Marie Dunlap of Crawford High School |
|
|
accomplished the rare feat of becoming state champion in two events |
|
|
with her remarkable performance on May 11, 2013, at the University |
|
|
Interscholastic League Track & Field State Meet in Austin; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Capping off her junior year of track competition in |
|
|
unforgettable fashion, Ms. Dunlap first lined up against the other |
|
|
eight state qualifiers in the 2A 800-meter run; she surged to the |
|
|
lead in the third turn of the race and never gave it up, crossing the |
|
|
finish line in 2 minutes, 18.83 seconds, to claim her first gold |
|
|
medal of the day; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Ms. Dunlap was back on the track three and a half |
|
|
hours later for the 1,600 meters; once again, she quickly |
|
|
accelerated to the front of the pack and soon left her opponents far |
|
|
behind, recording a time of 5 minutes, 10.95 seconds, and besting |
|
|
the second-place runner by more than five seconds; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Guided by coach Jason Buie, Ann Marie Dunlap has |
|
|
proven herself one of the premier high school middle-distance |
|
|
runners in Texas, and she will surely cherish the memory of her dual |
|
|
titles for years to come; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby congratulate Ann Marie Dunlap on becoming the |
|
|
2013 2A state champion in both the 800-meter and 1,600-meter races |
|
|
at the UIL Track & Field State Meet and extend to her sincere best |
|
|
wishes for continued success; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Dunlap as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
