SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 610

WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to congratulate the Westlake High School Cheerleaders for attaining the nation's top honors recently; and

WHEREAS, This dedicated squad realized a long-held dream when it won the Universal Cheerleaders Association's National High School Cheerleading Championships in Super Varsity Division 1; the event took place February 9 and 10, 2013, at Walt Disney World in Orlando; and

WHEREAS, The two-day competition brings together some 475 teams from 33 states; the Westlake High School Cheerleaders won their division after completing an almost perfect routine; the national competition pitted them against 23 other highly skilled cheer squads; and

WHEREAS, This fiercely talented group won the regional cheerleading competition last fall and earned the qualifying score that would usher its members onto the national stage; and

WHEREAS, The Westlake Cheer Program is led by Head Coach Jeff Nixon, assistant coaches Alison Leifeste, Jenna Nelson, and Jessica Hawkes, and choreographer and competition coach Missy Hall; the combined efforts of these coaches and their young squad are indeed praiseworthy and deserving of recognition; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 83rd Legislature, hereby commend the Westlake High School Cheerleaders for their victory as Universal Cheerleaders Association National High School Cheerleading Champions in Super Varsity Division 1; and, be it further

RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for the team and its coaches as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
