WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Victor Treviño Jr. of Laredo for his outstanding |

a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bicycle ride, and a 26.2-mile run; and |
|
WHEREAS, Victor Treviño Jr. first became interested in |
|
Ironman training while he was living in Hawaii, where the Ironman |
|
world championship is held; he began working out as a means to |
|

|
exceeded his original goal and has become one of the leading |
|
Ironman athletes in the world; and |
|
WHEREAS, He has qualified for and scheduled to compete in |
|
the 2017 Ironman World Championship in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, on |
|
October 14, 2017; he takes great pride in the fact that he has |
|
been able to train for this prestigious event in his hometown |
|
of Laredo, where he also serves as a coach and mentor to other |
|
athletes; and |
|
WHEREAS, Victor Treviño Jr. has been an exemplary ambassador |
|
for his community and his state, and he is truly deserving of |
|
special recognition for his hard work and determination, his |
|
impressive endurance and skill, and his commitment to athletic |
|
excellence; now, therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 85th |
|
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Victor Treviño |
|
Jr. on his outstanding achievements in Ironman competition and |
|
